Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child’s innate capacity to fully experience the present moment. Rather than labeling or defining specific emotions and feelings, Visiting Feelings invites children to sense, explore, and befriend any feeling with acceptance and equanimity. Children can explore their emotions with their senses and gain an understanding of how feelings can lodge in the body, as conveyed by common expressions like “a pit in the stomach” or “lump in the throat.”

This book will help children to overcome their difference and be able to express their individuality.

This book is good for younger children who may not know what feelings are or how to describe them. The colorful pictures make it hard to look away. Good for large or small group.
