How to Describe My Feelings! is the first book in the emotional intelligence series. It is a fun and easy teaching tool that uses Kinderwise® characters to display common emotions that children feel and encounter. Children will learn to label their feelings as well as be able to recognize them in others and act accordingly. Introducing cause and effect will reinforce your child's understanding of how their actions can affect others emotionally. This helps with the development of empathy which is crucial to the establishment of healthy relationships. KINDERWISE® was founded by a husband and wife team based in Southern California. They noticed that much of what they taught their child could be described as "The How-To's of Life!" They wanted to present these subjects in a way that children wouuld remember. With this in mind they developed an EQ book series, music, live touring stage production, and other products featuring SPARKELINA® (a young girl), BUSYBEE (a giant bee), and SOPHIE (a pink elephant). This dynamic trio suddenly find themselves having to get along in the world for the first time. The friends learn valuable lessons in this wonderful new place. Experiencing life through the eyes of these characters allows children to learn in a fun and interactive way. This is the central concept of Kinderwise®. Parents and educators may also use their reading time as a conversation starter and delve into the real-life experiences of their children by using the "Suggested Reading Methods" outlined at the beginning of the book. How to Describe My Feelings! can be used just for fun or as a teaching tool in a classroom setting, therapy group, or home. Check out their other books: How to Make and Keep Friends, How to Mind My Manners, How to Calm Down, How to Stay Safe. All five books are also included in their full EQ series book entitled: Emotional Intelligence Program for Children with 150 full-color illustrations that cover 58 lessons.
