Feeling Jealous

Feeling Jealous is one of the Tame Your Emotions titles, which pair playful photographs of animals showing feelings with short, simple text. Young readers meeting a strong emotion for the first time may assume nobody else has ever felt the same way. This book shows them that feelings are shared by everyone and that they do not have to become too much to handle.

Through the animal photographs, children learn to recognise different kinds of emotion and pick up easy ways to manage them. The text helps them name what they are experiencing and gives them simple steps they can use to take more control of their reactions.

The series is meant to be read with children and used as a starting point for conversations about feelings. Talking through emotions can help children gain confidence and self-esteem and understand their own behaviour better. Each title includes notes for parents and teachers with ideas and activities for exploring the subject more deeply. The books support the Personal, Social and Emotional Development area of the Early Years Foundation Stage and are also suitable for KS1 pupils.
