This book was written by Nick Ortner and Alison Taylor and was illustrated by Michelle Polizzi. This book is an amazing way to help teach children how to work through their emotions. Young children are just learning about their emotions and how to understand and control them. Teaching mindful breathing gives your child a tool to help understand and work through their emotions. In our classroom when an emotion is getting big we are careful not to shame the child for their emotions. Instead we show compassion by helping the child know that all emotions are okay. Next we name the emotion or emotions and offer tools to help the child work through them. This includes taking three deep breathes, talking it through, and offering a hug or space. Each child is different and sometimes all we can do is offer our understanding and give the child space to work through their emotions.
