Why Do I Feel? Big Book
Couldn't load pickup availability
What are my emotions? How do they feel and what do I call them? These are the questions asked in this children's big book.
Human bodies have evolved to be guided by our thoughts and feelings. Feelings keep us safe, influence body chemistry, and help us to connect with others.
In this book, we explore the reasons why we feel and what emotions feel like in our bodies. We learn to listen to what our feelings might be telling us and develop strategies to feel better.
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.
