Every Child Magazine VOL.13 NO.2 2007
This book offers scope for teachers to explore with children the meanings underlying various ways of feeling - how different emotions may position individuals in particular ways and the impact this can have on feelings.
It encourages readers to think beyond a view of emotions as fixed and one-dimensional ways of feeling and rather to view them as multifaceted states of being that shift according to the context in which a person finds themself.
Discussions of this kind might reasonate strongly with children who are often pressured to conform to others’ expectations of how they should they act and feel. Accordingly, this book could be read in early childhood settings and also the early and middle years of primary school.
