1-2-3 My Feelings and Me
"A friendly counting book invites young children to learn about coping with emotions. Young children often need help grasping the complexities of their feelings, which can sometimes be overwhelming.

Using an inviting counting format, 1-2-3 My Feelings and Me invites children and adults to count to ten as they share and explore feelings together. “We feel our feelings in two important ways, in our bodies and in our minds. Our bodies may feel hot, shaky, or calm. Our minds and our thoughts might be telling us we are scared, or excited, or unhappy.” Along with presenting tools and strategies, the book reinforces emotional language and the ideas that while some feelings are more comfortable than others, all emotions are natural and important." -- publisher
Smarts!
"It's easy for kids to get dejected and believe they're not as smart as the people around them.

There are actually eight types of smarts: words smarts, music smarts, number smarts, picture smarts, body smarts, people smarts, self smarts, nature smarts."-- Amazon.com
