Useful in the home and classroom, this collection of resources and activity suggestions contains tools that can act as useful prompts for discussion with children about a wide range of emotions – our physical and emotional responses to them, as well as guide as for working with your child to develop effective strategies for managing overwhelming stress and emotions.
