If children are to become emotionally competent adults, able to understand and have mastery over their feelings, it is essential that this important work begins in the early years. It is a fundamental part of enabling children to be sensitive to the feelings of others, and a key element of all other emotional skills.

This book takes a sensitive look at the whole range of human emotions and shows how to help children to recognise and talk about them.

The book:

• gives ideas for using puppets, toys, pictures and photographs
• suggests games to play and stories to use
• provides scenarios to explore
