This book provided a great way to address the big emotion of anger with children and with visual appeal. It's a great read for anyone who enjoys reading to small children.
I love this book so much. So many children need to know that just because they are mad doesn’t mean they are bad people. It’s ok to experience different emotions and learn how to process them in healthy ways. This book can also benefit some adults, too! The illustrations are so dope! Definitely a book to add to the bookshelf!
I love this book. My daughter was instantly attracted to it and read it in one sitting! It also was good substance for discussion with your kids.
This is wonderful children’s book that helps young children understand their emotions and learn that it’s okay to feel angry. The book not only teaches children that feelings are a normal part of life, but that it’s also important to learn healthy ways to express those feelings.
I like how the book encourages children to :
recognize their emotions,
communicate their feelings,
and develop positive coping skills.
The book also had a page that defines emotions in child-friendly language, making it easier for children to recognize and understand what they are feeling.
.I’ve seen first hand how the book helped a young boy who was experiencing anger.
Overall, this book is a valuable resource and I would recommend this book to parents, teachers, and childcare professionals because it provides a helpful way to introduce emotional awareness and self-regulation to young children.
I'm an educator whose has been working in the school system for 16 years. I was a Kindergarten teacher for 4 of those years. This book would have been great when we were working on our emotions unit. Students need to know how to navigate their emotions before they allow their emotions to take over them. These self regulation strategies are very beneficial for young children, even before Kindergarten. Children need to know that they are normal and that is okay to feel. This book was a great example of that. Loved the images, as well. The book was well thought out, and offered children information that matters.
I bought this book to read with my son, and we absolutely loved it! I Am Mad. Is That Bad? teaches children that feeling angry is completely normal while helping them understand how to express their emotions in a healthy way. It opened the door to a meaningful conversation between my son and me, and the colorful illustrations kept him engaged. This is a beautiful, relatable, and important book that every parent should read with their child.
This is the perfect book to introduce to our young minds. As they develop they are met with so many new feelings and emotions that they don’t know how to control. Learning about being mad and what that means for them is a great tool for our little ones. This book brings exactly what is necessary for our little readers to understand and also guides the parent on how to react and what to explain. I enjoyed reading this book as an adult I’m sure it will bring Great understanding for my little one as she gets older.
Reading I’m Mad, Is That Bad? with my two-year-old gave us a gentle way to talk about a big feeling. The title alone opened a conversation we can return to when frustration comes up: it’s okay to feel mad, and we can learn how to express it. I appreciated having that moment together and a simple way to reassure my child that a feeling doesn’t make them bad.
Mwen achete liv la pou pitit gasan mwen, li li tout liv la nan yon sel jou, li di li renmen l, li ri pandan lap li, mwen mandel poukisa wap ri, li dim paske papa timoun nan pran telefon timoun nan chak fwa li fe dezod. Chak swa avan li domi li toujou lil.
I personally bought this book because of the title, I wanted to know how to help my 9 years old son when he is mad. Trust me it's help.
Thank you Mrs Bastien for your inspiration 🙏 ❤️
This was a present for my 3 years old grandson. I loved reading it with him. It is written with a clear massage and beautifully illustrated.
This children's book is a must read for parents of toddlers and early school aged children ! It's engaging and tackles the challenges children and parents face when dealing with the emotions and " frustration" that most children experience. The illustrations are "eye- catching " and will certainly engage young and curious minds. My twin daughters are teenagers, however I will certainly gift the book to a dear sister friend whose 5 year - old daughter is active and expressive!
Sandy has done it again. Every book gets better, and this might be her best yet. The story is real. The little guy gets mad, then feels bad about being mad. That's exactly how it goes for kids. Then the dad kneels down, looks him in the eye, and says it's okay to feel mad, that doesn't make you bad. That moment is worth the whole book. The visuals are great too. You can read every feeling on that kid's face. And here's the thing: this book teaches parents as much as kids. It shows you how to meet a child in a hard moment. Kids become adults. Give them these tools now and they carry them for life. Fun to read out loud, and the feelings glossary in the back is a nice bonus. Grab this one for your kids. Great job Sandy.
This book is a must have for every child. Not only are the graphics eye catching and the quality of the book phenomenal but the content is engaging and really helps children figure out how to deal with their emotions. Excellent read. I highly recommend this book for all!
Book arrived on time! Great service. Thank you the Sandy! Highly recommended!
I absolutely love this book. The messaging is so on point. It's letting the little ones know that "Mad" is an emotion; emotions aren't bad. This book teaches them how to understand and handle those feelings. It's truly a must-have. Truth be told, as a mature adult, it taught me something as well. Great job Sandy.
This book is a must-read for kids, in my opinion - my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's all about teaching valuable lessons like discipline and kindness.
