'The Way I Feel'
A six-week, 'well-being' Activity Pack with training videos and lifetime support. Teach preschoolers to recognize and manage emotions through drama and play!
“This pack has made a massive difference to the pre-schoolers I teach and their ability to recongnize, name and manage their emotions. Using the imaginary character in class has been so powerful, it has given the children a ‘way in’ to explore their feelings and learn how to deal with them. I was a little unsure at first about how to ‘pretend’ convincingly with the children, but the teacher demo videos are brilliant, the pack itself is clear and easy to follow and the online support is fab. I can’t recommend this pack highly enough.” - Tracey P., Preschool Teacher
