Introduction:

When young children begin learning to express their feelings they often say things like, “I am sad”, “I am angry”, or “I am lonely”. It is important to help young children recognize what feelings are: temporary states, not permanent traits. Feelings are like the weather, changing constantly; an emotion may come and go in 90 seconds. This book uses simple language and lively images to teach children this important concept: just because you feel a certain way at times, it is not who you are forever. I encourage you to help young children express this by using statements such as “I feel sad right now”, “I feel really mad”, or “I feel lonely”. This will help them understand what makes them feel that way, and they will learnwhat they can do to change the situation and to change their feelings. For further reading on how to regulate emotions, please enjoy the next book in this series: “I Feel…I Can…”.

Afterword from the author:

When young children begin learning to express their feelings they often say things like, “I am sad”, “I am angry”, or “I am lonely”. It is important to help young children recognize what feelings are: temporary states, not permanent traits. Feelings are like the weather, changing constantly. The first book in this series I Feel…I Am… helps children understand that how they feel at the moment does not define who they are permanently, and that they have the power to change their feelings.

This second book seeks to help children not only understand what makes them feel certain way, but also to learn what they can do to change the situation and to change their feelings. It is important to help children learn how to express their feelings in a constructive manner; it is equally important to help children learn what to do about those feelings and how to regulate their emotions, especially the strong ones. It is the power of mastering these feelings that will help our children gain confidence in themselves and the adults who support them along the way.
