Emotional intelligence is a skill that can be difficult to learn, but is vital to daily life. Angry Octopus: A Relaxation Story helps teach young readers how to relax through progressive muscular relaxation.
We meet an Octopus who lives on the ocean floor. He has a fairly typical day of waking up
She teaches him how to be the boss of his own anger through deep breathing, muscular tensing and relaxation, and a dash of friendship.
These tools are fantastic. Through years of counselling and education, I have learned this can be a great tool for anger and anxiety. It's one of many tools that can help you regain your ground again. Using this book as an education tool is a great way to teach young readers how to maintain control of themselves when their feelings get too big.
This book is full of beautiful illustrations from under the sea which pairs perfectly with this relaxing, educational tale. I highly recommend picking up this book for our kids, classes, or family to enjoy as a fun but educational read.
Four out of five stars!
