This engaging storybook highlights the emotional journeys of Ruby, Rafa, and Riz, encouraging children to express their feelings and understand their behavior.
This storybook follows the experiences of three children: Ruby, Rafa, and Riz, each facing challenges that significantly impact their emotional well-being. Their teacher, observant and caring, notices changes in their behavior and takes the initiative to inquire about their feelings and thoughts. This simple yet profound act encourages the children to express their emotions, fostering a deeper understanding of their behavior and the underlying reasons for it.
Ruby, Rafa and Riz: Understanding Behaviour and Emotions delves into various scenarios that children encounter, such as dealing with unkind friendships, the loss of a pet, bullying from family members, and peer pressure. Through these relatable experiences, the story encourages young readers to recognize that behavior often stems from deeper emotional contexts. This understanding is crucial for both children and the adults who support them.
The narrative serves as a valuable tool for adults working with children, promoting the idea that sharing feelings and thoughts can lead to healthier emotional expressions. When paired with the accompanying guidebook, this engaging story becomes a vital resource for fostering emotional intelligence in children. Ultimately, Ruby, Rafa and Riz empowers children to articulate their emotions, helping them navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
"The 'Ruby, Rafa and Riz' story book and the 'Understanding behaviour and emotions' guide for teachers together provide a valuable resource for promoting children's healthy social and emotional development. In a warm and engaging way, teachers are encouraged to think about and explore with children the subtle links between their emotions, thoughts and behaviour. The relationship-based activities enable children to reflect on the challenges of their everyday family and school lives and develop strategies to manage them more positively. All children can benefit from this approach, but troubled children in particular would benefit from the extra help and confidence that this theoretically driven but practical resource can offer, in order to enjoy learning, build positive relationships and fulfil their potential."
