Young children with autism often find it difficult to understand and control their emotions. Fun With Feelings is a CBT activity book compiled by Dr Michelle Garnett and Dr Tony Attwood, Clinical Psychologists with considerable experience of working with people who have autism.
The book invites children to 'come and have fun with us, your feelings'! Get to know us so that we can help you express your feelings any time you need to! Say hello to Happy Henry Honeydew and see how his eyes light up, his mouth has a great big smile and how he's always laughing. Sit beside Sad Sally Strawberry and you'll learn that when she is sad her eyes look down, her face has a frown, and sometimes she cries. You can show that you are strong, brave and clever by meeting and getting to know all of your feelings. By getting to know your feelings, and learning about the Tools in your Toolbox, you will be able to express and talk about your feelings whenever you need to.
This activity book is a helpful and creative tool for children aged 4-8 to learn and understand their emotions to help reduce anxiety. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum: The CBT Based 'Fun with Feelings' Parent Manual.
These books can be used by parents of children with autism, as well as by teachers in mainstream and special education settings, clinical and educational psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists.
