All About Feelings

All About Feelings is a book that explores feelings in a variety of ways, including different types of feelings, signs your body gives about those feelings and why you might be having those feelings. Many of the pages and colours used to represent different feelings support those of ‘zones of regulation’ and could easily support learning within school.

The book is child-centred and consider feelings within the context of the school environment and beyond. It gives scenarios to support children to develop empathy and articulate how they would feel in given situations. It also explores how our feelings can vary all within one day.

Some pages explore having ‘jumbled up’ or mixed emotions and strategies for dealing with different emotions. The book also explores ways to help others with their emotions and ways to be kind to yourself.

The final page has a range of notes for adults, including things to try at home and online links. The book is designed to help children recognise, understand and name different feelings and to learn to talk about them and manage them in a range of helpful ways.
