EGGS-Press Your Emotions
Throughout everyday it is so important to help children manage and appropriately express their feelings. Regulating emotion is essential for healthy social skills and a child's social/emotional well being. So while your child may feel an array of emotions, they may not have the skill set to connect with these emotions and express them appropriately.
Using colorful eggs, drawn expressions, and an egg carton, you can help teach your child to process, identify, and appropriately Eggs-press their emotions.
