Albert Whitman & Company When I Feel Jealous

Great book from a great series to help a child understand feelings. Unfortunately, when the book came it was damaged slightly but the package was ok so it was shipped damaged. It was for personal use so I kept it. I wish a new book looked new though.

I bought this for our 31/2 yr old boy along with the others in the series. I wasn't sure if he would like reading them or not but he asks to read them, which is great. The books give an easy way to ask your kids have you ever felt that way? I liked the forward in the books to parents and teachers, the author gives valuable reminders to us. I thought the books were a little simple but after reading them with my son and seeing that they really do help I changed my mind they were just what we needed. I should mention I odered them because my son was having trouble in pre-school with hitting, pushing ect. I thought giving names and talking about emotions might help. After getting the books things have improved. They proved to be the door to discussions that have helped.

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter to talk about her feelings concerning her brother. Great door opener. Writen very well, easy for a child to understand, words flow very nicely, written very clearly. Even gives suggestions on how to deal with jealously. This book has given her a word for one of her emotions and seems to make it easier for her to communicate her needs. All books in this series is excellent.

We should have bought this book the day my second child was born. Jealousy was such a new feeling to my first. Like other 'way i feel' books, this one does an excellent job of identifying and validating the feeling while also suggesting ways to cope. I would highly recommend buying this for your first when your second baby arrives!

My 3 year olds loves the series of "The way I feel". The books have helped them identify their feelings and how to handle the situation in a mature manner.
