How Do You Feel?

Beschreibung

How do you feel? Follow the emotional journey of Toto while he plays with blocks. Toto is playful and curious, experiencing various emotions as he develops his game and skills. He shows us how play, and the resulting emotions are fundamental to the emotional health and well-being of children. When emotions stop moving, children get stuck, often resulting in problems of attention, learning, and behavior. On the contrary, when we encourage emotions to flow, and function naturally, as they should, empathy, group play and healthy social skills will bear fruit from within children. Discover how, with simple, colorful and attractive images that capture the attention of children, this book names and offers a visual representation of emotions and feelings, which helps children recognize their own emotions and embrace them, while helping parents, teachers and caregivers to become facilitators of this wonderful process.

Her experiences with children motivated her to write this book; observing how children show signs of learning and behavioral problems, compromising their mental health and well-being, because their emotions are trapped. Every day there are more children with behavioral and learning problems, anxiety and depression. Toto's journey is a true story and its meaning is not limited to playing with blocks. Many children, like Toto, experience an emotional journey every day, while facing frustration or stress in their academic and social lives, and through playing with their classmates or by themselves. Mental health is becoming a major concern in education and social development. Current societal tendencies tend to label emotions as either good or bad. Irma believes it is important to embrace and encourage recognition of emotions in the individual and her experience has led her to establish that all emotions are good, and tears as well as laughter are needed to help children achieve their best potential.
