Why Do I Feel...? Emotions 6 Lapbook Set

Our special edition 6 book set of emotional wellbeing books features a glossary, questions for positive engagement, and holistic teaching using science with positive psychology.

In this series, we approach emotions from a revolutionary perspective by empowering children with an understanding of physical responses to emotions and the thought processes that create them.

We can learn to listen to our emotions and observe our physiological responses which have evolved biologically to serve our ability to navigate life on Earth. Why is my heart racing? Why are my muscles tense? How might this response be useful to us as humans?  We learn to listen to our emotions and look for the messages they might be sending us knowing that our emotions can guide us to safety and to discovery.

Each book features an emotional vocabulary to support understanding the varied intensity and experience of emotions we each have. We explore thought traps and consider the ways we might experience an emotion based on a mistake or assumption. And lastly, we learn how to find a better feeling thought, from wherever we are, in a way that practices acceptance and self-validation of our emotions.
