How to Describe My Feelings featuring Sparkelina is the first book in the award-winning emotional intelligence series. It is a fun and easy teaching tool that uses Kinderwise(R) characters to display common emotions that children feel and encounter. Children will learn to label their feelings as well as be able to recognize them in others and act accordingly. Introducing cause and effect will reinforce your child's understanding of how their actions can affect others emotionally. This helps with the development of empathy which is crucial to the establishment of healthy relationships.
Kinderwise was founded by a mom based in Southern California. She noticed that much of what she taught her child could be described as "The How-To's of Life!" She wanted to present these subjects in a way that children would remember.
With this in mind she developed an EQ book series and other products featuring SPARKELINA(R) (a young girl), BUSYBEE (a giant bee), and SOPHIE (a pink elephant). This dynamic trio suddenly find themselves having to get along in the world for the first time. The friends learn valuable lessons in this wonderful new place. Experiencing life through the eyes of these characters allows children to learn in a fun and interactive way. This is the central concept of Kinderwise(R).
Parents and educators may also use their reading time as a conversation starter and delve into the real-life experiences of their children by using the "Suggested Reading Methods" outlined at the beginning of the book. How to Describe My Feelings featuring Sparkelina can be used just for fun or as a teaching tool in a classroom setting, therapy group, or home.
