Publisher's Synopsis
In Dealing with Feelings Jane Fisher draws on her experience as a teacher in a 'difficult' urban area. She begins by summarising Daniel Goleman's work on 'emotional intelligence' and goes on to describe how stories can be used to open up reflection and discussion of feelings. The main part of the book summarises over 100 popular children's story books (many of which are likely to already be in your setting) and shows how each can be used to encourage children to think and talk about their feelings. The included CD ROM contains additional resources, games and templates.
