看到《I Have Feelings》这本图画书时,我觉得这是一本很好的帮助小孩子描述情绪的书。我们每个人都会有、也有权力拥有不同的情绪情感,教小孩子学会用语言表达情绪,不管是积极的还是负面的情绪,而大人也要学会先了解孩子的行为背后的情绪,然后帮助孩子描述出这种情绪,相信无论是亲子关系还是孩子的个性,都会有个更好的局面。
Everyone has
feelings-
mummies, daddies, children-
even babies do!
Everyone has feeling...
...just like me and you.
Waking up is my best time.
I feel a laugh bubbling up inside me.
It comes out on my face.
I'm feeling...happy!
Uh-oh! Someone's not happy now.
My baby sister feels full up with tears and she needs to cry them out until there are no more left.
Baby's feeling...sad!
"Want to watch me dress myself?" I say.
"Look, I can do up all my buttons."
The words are bursting to come out.
I'm feeling...proud.
Now that I'm dressed we can go to the park.
"Hurry up, Mummy! Hurry up!"
I'm feeling so speedy-fast inside,
I just can't stop jumping around.
I'm so...excited!
But the bubbly feeling bursts when my baby sister
gets to the big swing first.
Wanting and wanting my turn is taking up all the room inside me.
Now I'm feeling...jealous.
It's hard to share.
And anyway, my baby sister is too little for that swing, so I have to help her.
And helping her makes me like myself.
I'm feeling...kind.
"I think it's time we went home now!" says Mummy.
"No! I don't want to! I don't want to!"
I feel a shout growing bigger and bigger inside me and I have to open my mouth wide and let that shout go.
I'm feeling very...angry!
Letting out the shout helps the anger go away.
So when we get home I'm better.
But at bedtime I get all shivery inside.
Angry monsters are coming and I need them to leave me alone.
They're making me feel so...scared.
"leave me alone!"
My daddy helps me chase those naughty monsters away.
I can feel a cuddle coming down my arms.
I snuggle up and give it to him.
I'm feeling...love.
And Daddy feels love right back!
