I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
My son is 3 and at an age where we spend a lot of time talking about feelings and how others can make us feel. While we do talk about bad feelings, we spend a lot of time emphasizing the good feelings, too. Trace Moroney has two books series, When I’m Feeling and The Things I Love About, and has released a new book within each series: When I’m Feeling Kind and The Things I Love About Friends.
Helping people, listening to your friends, feeling good about yourself?feeling kind is all of these things and more. When I?m Feeling Kind teaches young children about being kind and how to develop skills to identify and understand their feelings.
Each of the books in this series has been carefully designed to help children better understand their feelings, and in doing so, develop confidence and self-esteem as they grow. Talking about feelings teaches children that it is normal to feel sad or angry or scared at times. With greater tolerance of challenging feelings, children become free to enjoy their world, to feel secure in their abilities, and to be happy.
The Things I Love About Friends celebrates the everyday events that make up your child’s experiences, while emphasizing the importance of sharing ideas, interests, goals, and feelings with others.
There are so many things to love about friends ? sharing ideas, interests, feelings, and fun times. It’s important to learn how to be a good friend. This book in The Things I Love series by Trace Moroney celebrates the everyday situations that form the basis of our children’s experiences. Spending time with your children and giving them love and care helps them to celebrate who they are, building resilience and self-respect.
This beautifully produced series shows examples of creating positive thought. It has been carefully designed to help children feel loved, nurtured, accepted, and safe, ultimately increasing their confidence and self-esteem.
When I’m Feeling Kind helps to really explain feelings and kindness is something I wish for my son to be everyday. He loved seeing examples in the book of things he does when he’s kind like helping me clean or hugging friends when they’re sad. The Things I Love About Friends is a great way to teach him about friendship and what it means, which isn’t always an easy concept for kids. I love that both books have notes in the back for parents and caregivers that can help provide more examples on being positive and helping with self-esteem and the illustrations are so sweet and engaging. Both of these books are great for young children and these are two that will grow with my son throughout the years.
