Small steps to keep company with big emotions
The activities from «Sadness and Love» open conversations, help us express what we feel and remind us that we don't have to go through hard moments alone.
They are not numbered on purpose: choose the one that fits what you need today. Each one adapts to the child's pace, there are no right answers and there is no need to complete them all. At 4 and 5 years old, almost all of them can be done by drawing or by dictating to an adult. They are explained here and can be printed; the book, with its illustrations, is something else, and is kept as an emotional treasure.
