Most children can recognize when they are experiencing feelings such as sad/mad/glad (happy). In the book, "The Way I Feel", children are introduced to a wide range of emotions. When reading this book with your child, explain that ALL feelings are okay and that feeling different emotions is just part of being human.

Take moments throughout the book to pause and make connections to the emotion shown on the page. Encourage your child to recall a time when s/he felt that way. You might choose to read the book a second time with your child while sitting in front of a mirror. For each emotion, discuss the facial features displayed in the book and try to copy that emotion in the mirror.
