If your toddler has words for what they feel, they are less likely to have a tantrum. A child who can say ‘I’m angry!’ is less likely to hit out. Ask your librarian to suggest some appropriate picture books 📕📗📘about feelings. Make ‘feeling’ puppets out of small paper bags. Draw opposite ‘feelings’ faces on the puppets, i.e:
😃𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 – 🙁𝗦𝗮𝗱
😱𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 – 🙂𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲
😡𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗿𝘆 – 😀𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆
Make ‘feeling’ statements, such as:
“It’s my birthday, I feel . . .”
“It’s raining and I can’t go out to play, I feel . . .”
“My brother knocked over my block tower, I feel . . .”
Help your child to choose the appropriate puppet to match the feelings.
