My Feelings Matter

The purpose of the book titled "My Feelings Matter" is to allow kindergarten through fifth grade children to help them express how they feel through writing and to help them to understand their feelings by giving their feelings a name and then encourage them to talk and write about how they are feeling. For example, you might say to your child "Grandmother is in the hospital, you are sad, you said you want to see your grandmother." By giving your child a label for his or her feelings you enable your child to develop a vocabulary for talking and writing about their feelings. Parents, please help assist your children with any assignments that they may have.
