It taps into feelings at an age appropriate level, he’s 17 months.

My 4.5 yo requests it frequently and my not yet 2.5yo definitely pays attention and gets something out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779102 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:51:00 +0000 bubblegum 2779102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got this book for my son back when he was 2.5 to help with his speech therapy and choosing the proper words for his emotions. It was perfect!! I was actually recommended this book by another bee. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1884734723/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_title_sr?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=&#038;sr=" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1884734723/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_title_sr?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=&#038;sr=</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779101 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:39:30 +0000 katsupgirl 2779101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mo Willems has a Pigeon book about feelings. short, cute and funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779098 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:28:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2779098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah 2.5 seems a wee bit young. So my son just turned 3 and its only been in the last few weeks he's been able to express his feelings more. I would say in the last month or two he's been saying things like</p> <p>"I'm so so sad."<br /> "I'm not playing with you no more Mommy!"<br /> "You're (not) my best friend." (Being lovey or angry in context).<br /> "I'm good." (As in I'm fine.)<br /> "Leave me 'lone~!"<br /> "I love youuuuu."</p> <p>We're also able to stop him mid tantrum more and say "What's wrong? Tell Mommy. Use your words. Why are you upset?" And he will say things like:</p> <p>"Because....Daddy no share the cookie."</p> <p>And I'll say "Daddy didn't share the cookie? Did that make you sad/angry/frustrated?"</p> <p>"YEAH!"</p> <p>"I'm sorry, I know that is hard." </p> <p>By sorta suggesting feelings, it teaches him in context what that emotion is called. I don't use "frustrated" that often because its hard for him to pronounce, but we say things like "mad" or "upset." </p> <p>We also try to put a word to the feeling by acting it out ourselves or exaggerating our reactions. Like "Grrr, baby dropped the milk on the floor. Mommy is upset. Look at all the mess!" "GASP! You made that picture for ME!? Mommy is SOOOOOO happy!" </p> <p>We have the Boynton book and its good if you can act it out, but for some reason my kid isn't that into it. We HAVE liked Here Comes Destructosaurus! and No Fits Nelson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779092 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:09:16 +0000 jhd 2779092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBucky: totally normal to just be learning them now! My son’s preschool class has a chart that shows various emotions so I think it’s something they learn a lot about in that 2-4 year old window! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779090 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:04:20 +0000 MrsBucky 2779090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: thanks! I just stared asking him about that too, and sometimes he gets it and sometimes he is SO OFF. So I briefly panicked that he couldn’t read emotions, but then I remembered he is two and I need to calm down, hah. I’ll check that book out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779089 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:02:44 +0000 autumnlove 2779089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Todd Parr has a book about feelings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779088 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:00:17 +0000 jhd 2779088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBucky: Maybe that will come with time then. I can’t remember what age he was when he could do this but we started asking LO his characters in his books, shows were feeling at times. Oh I just remembered we have a Sandra Boynton board book that is cute with emotions. I think it’s Happy Hippo, Angry Duck? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779086 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:55:33 +0000 MrsBucky 2779086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: we watch DT together and the songs are so helpful! (It’s almost time to stop so choose one more thing to do is MAGIC) but none of the feelings one jive for him AT ALL and I have no idea why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779085 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:53:24 +0000 jhd 2779085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daniel Tiger has been so helpful for us. There are books that correspond with the episodes and they have an app with all the little songs that go along with the various lessons. My LO will be 3.5 at the end of the month and we still reference them all the time. And he loves rereading the books over and over.</p> <p>ETA this will give you a different feeling or situation in each book. You may be looking for something that offers all the feelings in one place though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-about-feelings-1#post-2779084 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:49:52 +0000 MrsBucky 2779084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2.5 and we are trying hard to reflect his feelings when he is upset. But if we say “it seems like you’re upset/frustrated/angry/ don’t like that” he gets upset and screams “I’m not ______ I’m happy!!!” While throwing a fit. If we ask how he is feeling, he says he has no feelings. I get it, he is two. But I’m wondering if reading a book describing different kinds of feelings would be helpful (he LOVES books). Any ideas? </p>
