Dealing with Feeling

This new edition of the bestselling Dealing with Feeling resource pack contains 40 lesson plans and 236 full colour activity pages.

The pack provides structured opportunities to develop emotional literacy and emotional well-being. As before, it is firmly supported by a wealth of research which links children's mental and physical health to the development of emotional literacy. In this second edition, Tina Rae emphasises the importance of emotional literacy skills and specifically the development of an emotional vocabulary, empathy, tolerance, resilience and motivation. The focus upon managing more complex and uncomfortable feelings is central to the programme and children are introduced to a variety of strategies, techniques and feelings including: • Defining the feeling • Understanding the feeling through story • Problem solving • Managing self-control strategies. Includes FREE CD Rom, containing all reproducibles.

'An ideal resource developed from research, practice and teaching, this book contains everything that a busy teacher needs to support the social and emotional development of her pupils. The scenarios are based upon real life situations and are therefore meaningful and engaging for young people. It can be used in whole class, group or individual work settings, either as a complete step by step teaching programme or as reference resource.'
