F is for Feelings
Young children often need help learning and practicing their “feelings words” so they can express themselves well. When children learn from an early age to share their feelings in clear and healthy ways, they are more likely to grow into adults who feel capable of handling life’s challenges.
Friendly and positive, F is for Feelings uses an alphabet-book format to share and reinforce emotional language and the idea that while some feelings are more comfortable than others, all emotions are natural and important.

This straightforward approach to describing feelings … along with the reassurance that everything a child feels is normal and experienced by everyone will be very useful in helping children learn to understand and manage their emotions. With its warm, friendly art and cast of diverse characters, every child will find it relatable.”

F is for Feelings
“F Is for Feelings helps adults teach children a language as essential as our ABCs: the language of emotions without which we cannot communicate what is most real and important in our lives, without which we cannot communicate ourselves to others.”
