Picture books
Picture books are a great way for kids to recognize emotions and find ways to relate to characters. Books are a simple way to support literacy and emotional intelligence while connecting with your child by setting aside time to read together.
While reading - ask questions to engage your child like:
Have you ever felt like that?
What would you do?
When do you feel like that?
What happens to your body when you feel (happy, sad, proud, mad, etc.)?
When are times you feel (happy, sad, proud, mad, etc.?)
