The second book in Hoopoe's "All About Me" series, Me and My Feelings explores the mystery of our emotions. What are they? How and why do they work the way they do? How can we manage our feelings when we need to? In this book, readers will discover everything that scientists and researchers know about human emotions. This is important, because once we understand emotions, we find them not only easier to manage in ourselves, but easier to understand in others. The book also introduces some ideas and tricks that can help us do this. Author Robert Guarino also includes many hands-on activities and experiments that are fun and instructive and will help to reinforce these new ideas. The book is illustrated by artist Jeff Jackson with an engaging cast of teen comic characters. This new edition of Me and My Feelings has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association's National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The "All About Me" series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, "work." This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach it in school - for example, what psychologists know about how we see, think, and feel; how these abilities work, change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us. There is good, solid information readily available and scientifically validated - and it's all about you ... and me.
