Teaching children how to understand feelings through a familiar setting.
Author Allie has created a teaching aid for parents, teachers and educators to help make positive changes in children’s lives by exploring their emotions and feelings and learning strategies to cope with them. This, the second book in the series, addresses the topic of anxiety and will help children learn to cope with worrying feelings, at the same time as teaching them that worrying doesn’t help. Mabel Meets her Worry Beans is particularly appropriate for EYFS and Key Stage One children who will identify with Mabel’s worries, but will also be enjoyed by older children as they start to read independently.
Covering the topic of anxiety
Helping children understand the feelings and emotions they may be experiencing or could experience. Introducing a tricky topic in a familiar setting for children, encouraging understanding of a very relevant topic in the modern day world, that wouldn’t normally be covered at home or within EYFS or Key Stage One learning. Reassuring children that their feelings are okay, giving them a relatable source and providing a solution to calm their own worries.
