Big Feelings is designed to help little children but, full disclosure, I've used a couple of the techniques in the back on myself. It's good stuff.

One of the best books I've seen about emotions. Rebekah goes beyond linking emotions to colours or naming them but also describes how they make your body feel and how to manage them. I highly recommend this book for all parents and educators.

Ballagh dispenses wisdom and compassion in this wonderful resource that shows children they have the power to influence their emotions.
