When Big Feelings Are Hard to Explain
Children can experience frustration, sadness, disappointment, jealousy, anger and worry long before they know how to explain what is happening inside them.
Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they become angry. Sometimes they withdraw.
And sometimes they simply say, "I don't know."
Meet Willy the Whale
Willy is a friendly whale who loves spending time and having adventures with his friends under the sea.
But when difficult feelings begin to appear, Willy doesn't know how to express them.
So he keeps them inside.
One feeling becomes another. And another.
Until Willy finds himself caught in an emotional whirlpool.
A gentle story. Meaningful lessons. Stronger connections.
