Children often find it difficult to express their feelings in constructive ways. While they enjoy the good feelings, they may have difficulty coping with the unpleasant variety. Talking about feelings is a good way to understand that whether the feeling feels good, or bad, they are normal. Zebra Tales - Bubbles of Feelings, the 3rd book in the Mr. Stripes series, gives a child a tool for them to use when they experience overwhelming feelings. Often our minds produce worries as thoughts, that bother us about what might go wrong in the future. Or we feel ashamed, angry, or sad regarding something that already happened. Sometimes the feelings are so strong, or constant that they interfere with one's ability to fall asleep, or focus on the task at hand. Maybe a child is feeling shy, preventing them from making new friends. Little Zebra imagines bubbles to put her troubled feelings into. A person is not their feelings, rather they have feelings. This is an important, and empowering distinction.
