‭Kids‬‭come‬‭with‬‭a‬‭full‬‭range‬‭of‬‭emotions‬‭that‬‭they‬‭haven’t‬‭fully‬‭understood.‬‭While‬‭every‬

‭child‬ ‭handles‬ ‭dealing‬ ‭with‬ ‭big‬ ‭feelings‬ ‭differently,‬ ‭it’s‬ ‭important‬ ‭for‬ ‭parents‬ ‭to‬
‭understand‬ ‭their‬ ‭unique‬ ‭ways‬ ‭and‬ ‭guide‬ ‭them‬ ‭gently,‬ ‭offering‬ ‭support‬ ‭and‬ ‭lots‬ ‭of‬

‭patience.‬

‭Books‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭an‬ ‭easier‬‭way‬‭to‬‭help‬‭them‬‭understand‬‭certain‬‭overwhelming‬‭concepts‬

‭and‬ ‭feelings.‬ ‭We’ve‬ ‭curated‬ ‭some‬ ‭great‬ ‭reads‬ ‭across‬ ‭ages‬ ‭to‬ ‭add‬ ‭to‬ ‭your‬ ‭kids’‬‭library.‬

‭These‬‭books‬‭tackle‬‭a‬‭whole‬‭range‬‭of‬‭emotions‬‭and‬‭can‬‭simplify‬‭these‬‭emotions‬‭so‬‭that‬

‭your child feels seen, understood and supported.‬
