Here is my second day of picture books. All of today's books will be picture books created by Emily Hartmann. I hope you enjoy them.
Come along with Max and learn how your little one can learn to control their anger. This is one of the hardest things for the youngest child to learn. They want immediate gratification and things their way. This book is a tool parents can use to help them learn to control those outbursts. This book teaches just one simple technique and it is easy enough for the youngest child to do.
I’m Mad – Emily Hartmann
This is another book about dealing with your emotions. It shows how you make the other person feel. It also shows you how to deal with those feelings. One other thing it does is shows your child how to make someone else feel better when they have been hurt by another person. Great and simple.
I’m Mindful – Emily Hartmann
Teaching children how to deal with
their emotions is important. Explaining to them that feeling sad, anxious and
angry is normal is one thing. As parents we need to show them techniques for
dealing with them. That is what this
book is all about.
Me and My Anger – Emily Hartmann
This books shows another technique
for getting rid of, or managing those feelings of anger. In this book there is
more of a visualization technique. Even
though many of these books have the same theme, I believe it is important to
read them all because no two children are alike. What works with and for one
child may not work with a different kid.
Me and My Choices – Emily Hartmann
Max is excited to go to school. He
can’t wait to enjoy all of the new experiences and make new friends. However,
Max bows to the pressure of his new friends and finds his first day is not all
that special. That night he thinks about what he likes. He decides not to
follow the crowd because “they” say so. He will be himself and have fun.
Me and My Frustration -Emily
Hartmann
Max, like a lot of kids gets frustrated when he can’t do what other kids do. He wants to be the best, win the race. This is perfect for teaching kids that it is okay to be frustrated when you don’t reach your goals. The idea is to keep trying.
Max wakes up to a sunshiny day. As
he prepares for his day he begins to worry. Instead of telling anyone about his
worries he holds onto those feelings and they grow throughout the day and into
the night. The next morning Max shares those feelings with his parents. They
help him understand that it is normal and how to deal with them.
Josh is getting frustrated in the
grocery store and his mom recognizes it. She tells him when she has to wait she
pretends she is a big dinosaur and roars.
Josh uses this in different circumstances throughout the day. When it is
time to go home he is not happy. His
sister plays another game that helps him cope with his feelings.
My Chatty Dinosaur – Emily Hartmann
If you have ever worked with
children you know one thing for sure, they love to talk. Finn wakes his friend
Rawr up and the minute he does, Rawr begins talking. Finn can’t say
anything. The next morning when Rawr
wakes up he can’t speak. Instead Rawr listens to everything Finn has
to say. A wonderful book to teach children the importance of listening instead
of talking all the time.
My Grumpy Dinosaur – Emily Hartmann
When Rawr the dinosaur wakes up
with the grumpies he doesn’t know what to do. His best friend Finn teaches him
some things he can do to get rid of the grumpies. Cut book about how to reset
your mind and day when the grumpies come and visit you.
Stop, Think, Go! – Emily Hartmann
Just Wait! – Emily Hartmann
Rawr is an impatient dinosaur. He
wants everything to happen now. He doesn’t want to wait. He bakes cookies and
turns the oven up too high and burns the cookies. He doesn’t want to wait for
his paint to dry and ends up making a mess.
Great way to teach children about waiting.
