Bob's Bad Day

Sometimes children feel sad or anxious or afraid, and although that's normal and okay, sometimes they deny or avoid those feelings, hoping they go away. This heartfelt, enlightening book is about helping children put names to their feelings. By putting names to their feelings, children are given the power to make choices about what can be done about them. As the saying goes, "You have to name it to tame it." Teaching children to admit to their feelings will help them develop a healthy understanding of themselves as they continue to grow into adulthood.
