The Big Feelings Book for Children Mindfulness Moments to Manage Anger, Excitement, Anxiety, and Sadness by Sharon Selb...

This mindfulness activity book offers young children practical tools for navigating four challenging emotions: anger, excitement, anxiety, and sadness. Through engaging exercises specifically designed for ages 5 to 7, it transforms abstract feelings into manageable experiences kids can understand and address. The book provides concrete strategies that help children recognize their emotional states and respond constructively, making big feelings less overwhelming. Parents will appreciate how it demystifies emotional regulation with age-appropriate language and activities that build emotional intelligence.

What distinguishes this resource is its focused approach to specific emotional states rather than general mindfulness concepts. The activities present multiple techniques for each feeling, allowing children to discover what works best for their individual temperament and situation. This is particularly valuable for children who struggle with emotional overwhelm or need help developing self-regulation skills. Families will find these shared exercises create natural opportunities for discussing feelings and practicing calm together, building emotional resilience through everyday moments.
