Why Do Emotions Matter?

Emotional development is a key part of growing up for all children. They need to learn to recognise and express their emotions in a healthy way.

The common behaviour problems that parents struggle with including tantrums, sibling rivalry, aggression, and whinging (to name a few) are often reflective of underlying struggles with their emotions. 

When our children can identify and express how they are feeling, there is less of a need to act it out in their behaviour, especially if they have a parent there to help them. 

Children with better emotional management skills have better relationships with their parents, closer friendships, higher self-esteem and perform better at school.

How Does The Book Help?

A foundational step in teaching kids about emotions is through language. 

Set out as in an A - Z format, My Big Emotions with your child helps develop their emotional vocabulary. It is perfect for young children and can be enjoyed by children of all ages. 

Using the illustrations and definitions in the book, you can join your child on a journey through their emotions and help them make sense of the emotional world around them

As a bonus, reading to our children helps increase their imagination, develop their brain, enhance their focus and concentration skills and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
