In My Heart: A Book of Feelings - Jo Witek, exploring

Unlike other feelings books that tend to oversimplify, In My Heart lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside. For example: "When I get really angry, my heart feels like it's going to explode! Don't come near me! My heart is yelling, hot and loud. This is when my heart is mad." The joy, the sadness, the calm, the anger, the fear. All the emotions that children of 3 years and older already recognize and can express are contemplated in this beautiful story. The first step is to become aware of our children´s emotions. To do this we can take drawings which have several children in them. We then need to ask the children how they think the children in the drawings are feeling. We can also ask them to draw faces that represent a person who is experiencing a certain emotion. Telling stories related to these different emotions is also beneficial. Exploring your mindBlog about psychology and philosophy. Articles and opinions on happiness, fear and other aspects of human psychology.Sometimes my heart feels like a big yellow star, shiny and bright.I smile from ear to ear and twirl around so fast,I feel as if I could take off into the sky.This is when my heart is happy. Starring the same little girl in the same charming illustration style as Hello In There!, In My Heart explores emotions--happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness and more.

Toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. On the cover and the right side of each spread, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book. Concentric heart-shaped die-cuts are the centerpiece of this elegantly designed book about emotions, first published in France. An expressive pencil-drawn child uses relatable similes and metaphors to describe her various feelings:“Some days my heart feels as heavy as an elephant. There’s a dark cloud over my head, and tears fall like rain. This is when my heart is sad.” A featureless gray-blue elephant sprays water on the girl from its trunk, which swoops toward her from across the spread. Elsewhere, a red cross symbolizes a broken heart in need for healing (dressed as a nurse, the girl wraps the cross with a bandage), and the girl appears as Red Riding Hood, pursued by a wolf, to demonstrate fear. Witek covers an impressive emotional range while Roussey’s childlike drawings evoke each feeling with playful style. Ages 2–4. (Jan.)

Here is the story in video form for you to enjoy…and your children too of course! Other indispensable skills linked to children’s emotions are those that allow children to relate to other people and strengthen their self-esteem. Children must know that they have the right to say no when they don’t like something, that it is not good to spread rumors, and that they must always try to put themselves in the other person’s shoes. That is why diaries, memory boxes, and praise games are so useful, and many would say vital. These help children learn to respect themselves and understand why friendship is like a flower that should be taken care of by both parties.
