Big toddler / child feelings - great read + advice!

If you have or ever had a toddler, you know about big feelings. Epic feelings. Elephant sized!! This book does a great job of not only entertaining my toddler, it educates them AND equips me with information to help me work through those big emotions WITH them. All that Eli feels, I can see my kiddos trying to process and understand his anger, frustration and hurt. They’ve been there too. They see an example of how to identify their feelings and see how support from their family with calming techniques can guide them through the emotion, instead of extinguishing it like parents for generations have done. There’s prompting questions, step-by-step practical guide and some extra printables you can download; super cute artwork- we love it!
