When I'm Feeling Nervous

Feeling nervous is uncomfortable, but it can mean that you're about to do something really, really brave! What do you do when your child feels nervous? In Note for Parents at the back of the book, a child psychologist offers some helpful insights. The Feelings Series are beautifully produced picture books that cover different emotional concepts for young children. Each of the books in this series has been carefully designed to help children better understand their feelings, and in doing so, gain greater autonomy over their lives. Talking about feelings teaches children that it is normal to feel sad, or angry, or scared at times. With greater tolerance of painful feelings, children become free to enjoy their world, to feel secure in their abilities, and to be happy.
