When I Feel Sad: A story about understanding and facing difficult emotions.

By Tracy Darling

Help Your Child Understand That Sad Feelings Are Normal and Okay

"When I Feel Sad" gently guides young children through sadness, teaching them that all feelings are valid and temporary.
Through Riley's experiences saying goodbye to loved ones, losing a favorite toy, watching the rain, and missing friends, your child will discover:
- What sadness feels like in their body (heavy, slow, quiet)
- When and why we feel sad
- That sad feelings come and go

Why parents love this book:
- Validates children's emotions without dismissing them
- Teaches healthy coping strategies (talking, hugging, waiting)
- Reduces shame around difficult feelings
- Offers hope and comfort with gentle reassurance
- Helps prevent emotional meltdowns through better understanding

Perfect for children ages 2-5 who are learning to process disappointment, loss, and change.

Give your child the gift of emotional resilience with Riley's Feelings series. Because all feelings deserve to be felt
