Help your child think about emotional expression and storytelling by discussing a routine or experience that that they find challenging. This can be anything from getting ready for bed, going to the doctor, getting ready for school … etc. Have your child write or draw one idea per page that explores the emotions, situations and perspective during the routine.
For example, if your child wants to write about getting ready for bed, possible sentence starters could be:
- When I get ready for bed I feel ...
- While I get ready, I like to …
- I can ask for help if …
- My parent will be proud of me when …
Have your child draw pictures for the pages and assemble them into a book and then read the story to each other.
