It's a great book that encourages positive behavior as children see how rewarding it is to express daily kindness.

A couple ideas that stood out were to create an "art journal" where children can record their feelings or thoughts through pictures rather than words. It also says that to help children deal with anxiety they can just simply doodle on some paper. It also has been shown to increase memory and creativity!

I think it would be great for all the children to be able to make their own so that if they are not feeling like talking one day they are able to hold up how they are feeling. I would even go as far as to have the children draw their own happy, sad, or angry faces on their own fan and then you could laminate each piece for them.

This is a song that you could sing with your children during circle time to get them to express how they are feeling for the day.

There is also a link to you tube that has it as an audio book.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu-Ztd0XMUo It discusses how different situations through the day can make kids feel certain ways and that it is okay for them to feel each and every one of those feelings.

Instead of getting mad about it he just keeps right on going.Loving each new color they turn. This could really help kids see sometimes there is always a positive to what they might find a negative.

I believe art to really help kids describe some of their feelings. It's a way for them to express themselves without really saying anything.

It's a feelings card you could buy or make your own really.  They suggested doing this for kids on the first day of school but, you could choose  to do whenever. This just lets kids say what they didn't like about something but also lets them find a like and love about the day. Plus ,you might even learn something new about your child. For some kids it's so much easier to write their feelings rather than tell you.

My 2 year old sings it.  It tells kids when they get mad to take a deep breathe and count to 4. Of course though the song is much cuter. Here is a link to it. http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ce65aeaa-ddd2-45dd-908e-6abd84ef2cb2/ce65aeaa-ddd2-45dd-908e-6abd84ef2cb2/

I believe songs like this are easy for young kids to remember and it teaches them how to start handling their frustration.]]> 2014-03-23 21:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jdipietro1227/a864x95bhb/wish/24181490 Jarae Dennis ms_determine20 https://padlet.com/jdipietro1227/a864x95bhb/wish/24195768 ]]> 2014-03-24 02:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jdipietro1227/a864x95bhb/wish/24195768 Jarae Dennis ms_determine20 https://padlet.com/jdipietro1227/a864x95bhb/wish/24196011 This activity is pretty simple, you can use pasta noodles for the children to express how they are feeling. To see if understand you can ask a question and have them make a face about how they are feeling.
