I Am Like A Rainbow

A fun to read book helping children identify and accept their emotions. Accepting how we feel makes it easier to accept who we are. We can all learn how to deal with our feelings in a better way if we start by accepting them. It is ok to feel sad sometimes and it is natural to feel angry at times too. The aim of this book is to encourage a positive self image and to support resilience in children. It also gives carers and teachers an opportunity to talk to children about the various complicated or conflicting feelings they experience. The book is bright and colourful so it engages children as you read. I wanted to make it fun to read, so there are animal and human characters representing the different experiences we all share. Age: While I would read this to my son at 3 I think it is best for children 4-9 or perhaps older if they are struggling to accept themselves. Hi! I am Anna, the author. I have a little boy called Luca and I do my best to raise him using a positive parenting style and I also trust my instinct a lot. I know that it takes a huge investment of time, energy and love bringing up children and I wanted to put this book together to help show children that it is absolutely fine to feel all their feelings, it is how they deal with them that makes the big difference. I never want Luca to feel bad about being himself. I have done several counselling courses and I am an Advanced Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner. While these inform the way I parent and how I approach life in general, my core drive is that I want to do the right thing by Luca in the short and long term. I want to give him unconditional love and acceptance and as much self belief and resilience as I can. I hope I am not sharing too much, but this book was born out of that drive. Sample: I am thoughtful. Sometimes I like to sit quietly and think about things. There is a lot to think about.I am grumpy. Sometimes I get really grumpy and lots of things make me angry and fed up. It usually passes if I work out why I am grumpy and I do something about it. I am sad. It is ok to feel sad but it is nice to talk to someone and share how I feel, then sometimes I feel better.I am excited. I get so excited sometimes when we are going to do something fun. I jump up and down and I clap my hands and I smile the biggest smile. I am writing some lovely fun rhyming story books as well, please check out my website www.annastylesauthor.com for details.
