Up and Down, Round and Round: A book about understanding and identifying emotions (Emotions: Identifying, Understanding, Managing, + Regulating) - 4539

How do we teach kids about emotions and feelings? Openly, honestly, and using terminology that we can incorporate into our everyday conversations with our kids. This book is a fabulous educational resource that uses colors and the emotional "up and downs" in every day to talk about how to understand and identify emotions - and why that's so important. Identifying emotions and where they're felt in the body is a vital skill for kids and adults alike and is the first step toward emotional regulation. This is important book is the first in Mighty + Bright's highly anticipated "Emotions" series, and introduces the concept of emotional regulation. It is part of Mighty + Bright's Kids' Mental Health at Home Program. This book explains the emotional experience in an easy-to-understand way and incorporates scientific findings such as "Name it to Tame it," the Window of Tolerance (developed by Dr. Dan Siegel, MD, co-author of "The Whole Brain Child"), and the Zones of Regulation, an educational method used in many schools. This book covers: The role our bodies and brains play in emotion; The purpose of emotion in our lives, and the concept of high energy emotions (like anger or anxiety) and low energy emotions (like sadness or depression); The desire for unpleasant emotions to go away, and why they're helpful; Why emotions happen, including how our thoughts can cause them; The benefit of naming our emotions; How to begin understanding our own emotional experience; Common worries about BIG emotions and how to safely cope with them; Different people's different reactions to the same experience; An opening to discuss anxiety and depression with kids; The idea that no day is all "good" or all "bad."
