50 Fantastic Ideas for Exploring Emotions

Helping children to understand, explore and manage their emotions

Emotional comptetence is a gift we can give to a child, but it doesn't develop without adult support, guidance and modelling. Children developing a strong sense of wellbeing is a core outcome in the EYLF, with personal, social and emotional development at the heart of best practice.

This book offers 50 short starter sessions with interesting ideas for follow up, each one focused on a different aspect of emotional development. The activities will help children to understand, explore and manage their own emotions and those of others through discussion, observation, stories, songs and movement.
