by Karen Ruark Lunt (Author)

"Use your words." "Don't hit." "Why are you crying?" Are you exhausting these phrases in your parenting? Children need to have a vocabulary of emotional words in order to express their feelings. If not, they will end up throwing a temper tantrum by hitting and crying to express their feelings. Children's little minds are like sponges, they love to learn new words and use them. In this book the lowercase alphabet represents young children as they present different real life situations children may find themselves experiencing at one time or another. Each letter introduces new negative and new positive emotional vocabulary words. The children will learn that by making good choices, they will experience more positive feelings, especially with friendships, school and in social settings. The beautiful detailed watercolor illustrations calls for much discussion and language to be used by both children and adults. Parent and teachers will find this book useful as they help children learn to identify their feelings and learn to react socially and emotionally in a more acceptable manner.
