Unpleasant emotions - book series - GUILT, SHAME, HUMILIATION, DISAPPOINTMENT
by Tatjana Gjurković, Tea Knežević, Jelena Brezovec
New picture book series cover complex and very unpleasant emotions of guilt, disappointment, shame, and humiliation. Authors, Tatjana Gjurković and Tea Knežević, are masters of child psychology and play therapists. In everyday work with children and parents, they have noticed that those emotions can have a lasting and damaging impact on the psycho-emotional development of children. That is why they decided to write four short therapeutical stories for children 4-7 years old. Little wolf, monkey, donkey, and a turtle will help children to recognize and name the unpleasant emotion they feel inside and how to ease and relieve the intensity of the emotion. Stories will be very helpful for parents and caregivers because they will get examples of how to raise children without shaming, causing guilt, disappointment, or humiliation. Each book has an addition at the end with very specific tips for parents and adults who work with children.Books in the series:- Wrong behavior hurts: Wolf feels guilty This picture book is about the emotion of guilt in children. - Criticism hurts: Monkey feels ashamed This picture book deals with the feeling of shame in children. - Mocking and rejection hurt: Donkey feels humiliated The picture book deals with the feeling of humiliation in children. - Unfulfilled expectation hurts: Turtle feels disappointed This picture book deals with the feeling of disappointment in children.
