The Feelings in Control Flipbook is a remarkable resource with which to help children learn to identify, understand and regulate their emotions. Each flip of the page offers up an illustration of a child in the midst of experiencing a strong feeling: nervous, scared, happy, sad, frustrated, and more, with 20 emotions in all. The facial features and body language of the kids in these pictures convey a good deal about what they are feeling. A word at the bottom of the page labeling the emotion can be easily covered so as to allow the child to identify the feeling unaided before checking their answer. The page opposite each image provides invaluable coping strategies kids can use to manage their responses when in the midst of that particular emotion. When I feel scared, I can . . . take deep breaths in and out . . . talk to an adult . . . listen to calming music, give someone a hug, and so on. The included manual gives parents and caretakers excellent guidance on making the most of these enlightening explorations so that even a small amount of practice yields big dividends in building these essential social-emotional skills.
