Content
Children’s feelings can change in a flash. A moment ago, Finn and Hannah were happily drawing, but when Finn’s picture tears, he’s really upset! Luckily, Hannah manages to put the picture back together and Finn is happy again. At the public pool, Pelle is sitting on the edge of the pool, feeling a bit apprehensive. But he finally ventures into the water with Dad. Pretty brave of Pelle! These and many other little scenes from the everyday experience of young children invite them to use the sliders to change the images and thus the feelings. Why is the child in the book sad? Why is another child happy? By looking at the images together, reading the texts and using the sliders to change the images, children playfully familiarise themselves with the various emotions and learn to talk about them. This is important both for young children’s development and the bond between parents and children.
