Enhancing emotional literacy through children’s books

Emotional regulation in the early years can be enabled through the use of books in early years settings.

Using books provides children with acceptance of their emotions as normal; self-awareness and awareness

of others; both of which are relevant and needed for the child within an early years settings.

​

The My Feelings Children's Book Series helps young children (ages 2 to 6) to identify and manage their feelings.  Each book promotes  three key learning concepts:

• When do children have the feelings?

• How do their bodies react?

• How can they manage their feelings?

​

Music is embedded in each book through a link to soundcloud.com so children can listen to and sing songs that reinforce what they have learned.

​

Emotional literacy will last a lifetime!
