Storybox Playlist: Stories for Different Kinds of Feelings

Some of the most important skills a child can learn center around social and emotional control and recognition. (Many adults can use a refresher on these topics, too.) It takes time and effort to understand one’s own feelings, to perceive how those feelings affect those around us, to recognize feelings that others are experiencing, and to learn to react appropriately to them.
