"Some big feelings might feel overwhelming at times, but that doesn't mean we need to keep them inside. Just take a deep breath, count to ten if you need to, then try using your big words like Jace to help you get through."
Jace's Big Words and Feelings
was developed to help children identify their big feelings and emotions, provide positive coping strategies, and help children learn to express those feelings by putting words to them.
Throughout this colorful interactive story, Jace, a big fluffy dog, teaches and encourages children to use their big words to express their big emotions and feelings instead of holding them inside. Jace focuses on feeling sad, scared, excited, nervous, mad, lonely, and happy as he opens up and shares specific situations that consumed him with big emotions, and how he found even bigger words to help him cope.
also provides an interactive and engaging opportunity for children to relate to Jace's feelings at the bottom of each page. With a simple push of Jace's dog tag, children can tell Jace times in their lives they have felt the same big emotions. A great tool to help children deal with overwhelming feelings and challenging circumstances as they learn positive coping strategies and words to help them get through.
