FROM MRS. MUNSON
A common theme and language skills students will hear throughout the school year is: “All of our feelings are ok, action are ok or not ok”. Our children should know that it is normal to feel strong emotions at times! The important thing is that we are dealing with these emotions appropriately. It is ok to feel angry or frustrated, but it is not ok to hurt someone.
Here are a couple of books you can read with your student(s) about strong emotions:
· Sometimes I’m Bombaloo by Rachel Vail and Yumi Heo
· When I Feel Angry by Cornelia Maude Spelman
· When Sophie Gets Angry by Molly Bang
· My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss
Here are some tips for helping kids handle strong emotions: https://aliciaclarkpsyd.com/12-tips-parenting-child-intense-emotions/
Sincerely, Mrs. Munson
