Created to support and address children's social-emotional skills, The Feels Educators’ Edition helps students learn how to identify 5 major emotional states as well as strategies for taking care of their feelings. With time, practicing the skills offered in The Feels encourages collaboration instead of combativeness with emotions, teaching children to listen without judgment to what our feelings have to say so we can decide the best course of action to take. This curriculum will support students with emotion identification, emotional regulation, Mindfulness, and Collaborative Problem Solving.
