How wonderful that your preschooler has begun to identify his emotions…now what does he do with them? Here are 5 books to read with your child to help them manage their emotions and actions. As you read these stories with your child, talk about the characters’ emotions and the choices they made that affected the story and other characters. Help your child to understand that his choices and actions affect the people around him every day.
Glad Monster, Sad Monster: As your child discovers each new feeling, ask them to act it out and how they might respond when they feel that way. It may seem silly, but it is important for your preschooler to practice with their emotions so they can recall them in the moment.
The Color Monster: While the color monster seems to be all mixed up, his friend helps him figure his emotions out and shares with the monster how he might act when he experiences each emotion. This is a great way for your preschooler to hear how to connect his emotions with actions.
Llama Llama, Mad at Mama: Llama does not want to be at the grocery store with Mama and lets her know it. But Mama skillfully turns Llama’s drama into a game of working together to get the shopping done, and helps Llama learn to control his emotions.
The Grouchy Ladybug: After reading The Grouchy Ladybug ask your preschooler if she has a friend who acts like grouchy ladybug. How does she react when her friend is grumpy or mean? Remind her that her emotions affect her friends too and that she should be considerate in her actions.
Your preschooler will be able to process through their own emotions by reading with you!
