RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARENTS
It’s very important that families besides school help the children with their development
both personal, social and emotional. Therefore, these are some recommendations that
parents can take into account this summer.
At that age, it is fundamental that children learn to control their own emotions, talk about
their feelings and learn how to interact with others have empathy, because all of these
things can help improve their self-esteem.
On one side, some books that parents could read it if in the school hasn’t worked are:
Emotionary, the color monster and the little prince.
Emotionary is a guide where are represented all the emotions and can help the child to
know them and develop their emotional intelligence.
The color monster is a book of a monster that has trouble to distinguish emotions. In the
course of the book, the monster is learning to differentiate the basic emotions. Also, the
book account with a records that parents can use with his kids.
The little prince ​talks about one prince that leave ​on his planet, and he decides to travel to
other planets where he learns many different things.
One movie recommendation that parents can see with his kids is ​Inside Out​. The film is
about a girl who does things that the emotions (Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger) that
are in her mind tell her. This film is very funny and interesting for the children because it
could help to recognize basic emotions.
On the other side, it is necessary that children develop their creativity and imagination too,
for this reason one of the best ways to do this is by playing. Children must play with other
kids, but it isn’t always necessary that they play with other children, they can also play at
home alone. Parents can encourage this development buying toys like puzzles, construction
games and play dough.
