"Suggestions are realistic and practical. . . ." -- Paulette Boching, Small Press, Winter 1995

Product Description

Too often kids’ feelings get ignored. "I'm Scared" is part of the "Dealing with Feelings" series that helps children and adults accept and acknowledge their emotions. It also helps them distinguish between feelings and actions. Even more important, the stories give kids several ways to cope with feelings by utilizing the "choose-your-own-ending" format. They also allow parents and teachers to discuss other situations in a nonjudgmental way.

This story describes a girl who is anxious to meet the new kids next door...but frightened by their big dog. Young readers and their parents can help her decide how to handle her fear.

This simple and interactive book is a very good resource for opening discussion with kids about their feelings. It offers solutions/ideas for dealing with their emotions. I'm a counselor and have used this book in my practice and in a K-8 charter school with much success. I highly recomend this book for anyone who wants to open communication with kids about their emotions.

I wanted to buy this book for my step-daughter who is having problems sleeping alone at night because she is scared lately. The book is actualy for parents to read with children. Which is good. Just not what I was expecting. Just a heads up.

I have a grandson who is nearly 5 years old. I feel this series of books assist young children in understanding that their emotion has a name, is felt by lots of people and gives them choices in what to do with their feelings. It also gives the parent or caregiver the opportunity to talk with the child and provide love and support when he/she is feeling an emotion strongly.
