Is Your Child Struggling Emotionally?


Since COVID-19, many of us understand the importance of mental health in our daily life. It is essential to understand our own feelings and have skills to label those emotions. Most importantly, we all need to understand that it is okay to have even negative emotions; we just need to know how to express appropriately and how to deal with those emotions.

During early childhood, infants have simple emotions compared to adults: such as comfortable or uncomfortable. So if your baby cries, you should check their comfortableness first because almost likely something is making them uncomfortable; for example, he is hungry, thirsty, wet, cold, or hot. As infants grow,  their emotional development thrives with their life experience. They feel happy, joy, sad, or mad. It is important for them to experience those emotions and we need to teach them by labeling those emotions. 


I would like to introduce some great children's books that support young children's emotional development.

How Are You, Shuta? is the perfect book for your young ones! Featuring an adorable dog, Shuta shows different facial expressions to demonstrate his feelings, allowing your little ones to easily relate to and understand these emotions. This book doubles as both a great bedtime story or gift for your children while also promoting the development of empathy and understanding of emotions from an early age. It is available at Amazon with Kindle Unlimited, Kindle eBook, and Paperback and Barnes & Noble with Hardcover.

The story of White Socks takes you on the journey of a young child and their favorite stuffed animal. This book will take your children on an emotional journey that allows them to discover and understand these experiences from another perspective. Follow along on the journey to find White Socks!


It is available at Amazon with Kindle Unlimited, Kindle eBook, and Paperback and Barnes & Noble with Hardcover. 


Read those children's books to support your child's emotional development because they need to learn to identify and label their feelings correctly and how to express them appropriately; most importantly, they need to know that all emotions are valid even negative emotions.
