Big Feelings, Little Helpers: A Montessori Guide to Naming Emotions

By: Cudjoe, Sherifa E.

Little ones experience big feelings long before they have words for them. This book helps toddlers like mine:

Identify and name what they are feelingSee emotions as normal and temporaryLearn simple ways to respond when feelings feel big

Our gentle approach blends Montessori tools (like emotion cards and real-life photos) with the 4MAT learning cycle, guiding kids from why we have feelings to how to handle them.

Our little ones don't always have words for their big feelings. Sometimes they come out as meltdowns, sometimes as silence. I am still figuring this out; some days we nail it, other days we are both just trying to get through bedtime. This book is just something to hold onto, whenever it feels right.
