Description: Young children have strong emotions, but often are unsure of how to articulate and handle them. Just Me and My Mind aims to help kids recognize their emotions and thoughts -- and then act accordingly. The book includes interactive pages of emotions (happy, scared, sad, loving, angry). The reader pulls an image of the emotion from the mind of the child, helping the reader to understand why emotions might arise. The book continues by illustrating how children can "clean out and settle" their minds with quiet contemplation.

happy, angry, scary, loving. Does a nice job of portraying these and showing them as normal. I felt the book fell short in the what to do with the thoughts. It makes a nice addition to Moody Cow, but if I could only have one book in this series, I'd choose Moody Cow Meditates. Show Less
