Fanni and friends make practicing social and emotional skills easy and fun!Fanni’s Feelings Cards help children manage and understand all kinds of feelings - whether it’s sparkling joy or devastating disappointment. The deck includes descriptions of emotions and emotional situations familiar to many children. The pictures and exercises in the Feeling’s Cards emphasize the importance and meaning of different emotions. The exercises teach tools for emotion regulation and help children become more familiar with their own emotions and reactions. The dilemmas presented in the Problem Solving Cards teach children perspective taking, empathy, and problem solving. The deck includes 18 feeling’s cards, nine problem solving cards, a feeling’s thermometercard, and ideas and examples for activities suitable for 1:1 or group setting. The Fanni series includes six books and a deck of Feeling’s Cards. Each book includes an illustrated story, practical theoretical information for parents, teachers, and caregivers, and exercises for children and adults. Each Fanni book is written so that just by listening to the story, children learn one specific emotional processing skill that they can start using right away. The series is targeted for 4-7-year olds.
