Good/Bad Feelings Diary

The Good/Bad Feelings Diary read to a child from an early age allows parents to also receive a healthy message about the benefits of sharing and talking about feelings, whatever they may be. The book takes the reader on a child's journey through feelings, good and bad, and how the child responds to the feeling at a certain time. The child displays certain behaviours given the feeling they are having at the time, recognizing that 'bad' feelings can sometimes have a consequence if the child becomes overwhelmed with the emotion. The significant person or people in the child's life who are able to listen, comfort and talk about things not being right and acknowledge that they themselves have strong feelings and emotions too, can help the child to self- regulate and know that the feeling was normal and assist them with the tools to manage these emotions differently.
