Are you familiar with the story ‘The Colour Monster’?The Colour Monster is a fabulous ‘must-have’ story by Anna Llenas that helps a child understand their core emotions.
You need to know that The Colour Monster is a story that gently and effectively explores our 6 main emotions. This is a cheerful storybook full of appealing colours and a lovable main character that deserves a special place in a child’s book collection.
At Inspired, The Colour Monster is a tool to support our behaviour guidance practice, supporting children to identify feelings and associate feelings with particular behaviours, such as when I am feeling yellow (happiness) I am ready to play with my friends, share and enjoy my day, when I am feeling red (anger) I can seek comfort from my educators or spend time in the calming area to help my body feel calm.
We look forward to continuing to build our children’s understanding of emotions and supporting the children to express their emotions with effective communication.
