This series recognizes that children are entitled to their feelings even when their behavior needs to be corrected. It acknowledges specific feelings and offers children several ways to deal with them. Each book features a choose-your-own-adventure format, and shows what different outcomes of choices might be--allowing children to back up and try another solution if they don't like the outcome, or to try a variety of choices to see how each might turn out. Alex just can't seem to skate as well as his older brother and sister can, and he thinks about smashing his skates. Readers are encouraged to help Alex find better ways to express his frustration and find other fun things to do.
An interactive approach to learning about feelings.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A boy encounters a frusterating event (learning to roller skate and falling) and deals with his emotions. What makes this series of books different from other books about feelings is the interactive approach. Most pages end with a series of suggestions - ways to deal with emotion, such as taking deep breaths, talking to someone about the feeling, or taking a break. The reader chooses one of the possible solutions, turns to the page number indicated to see the result, then is offered more choices. My son loved this book and it gave him a lot of ideas for handling tough feelings.
