We are Wild Too! Book 2 in the series
The We Are Wild series includes We are Wild Ones and We are Wild Too! This is the second book In the series, which introduces the feelings of frustration, pride, disappointment, and gratefulness. The books are structured to provide a safe, playful way to think about and talk about emotions through fun, relateable characters like Proud Peacock, Disappointed Dog, Frustrated Fish and Grateful Goldfish. Each story introduces the feeling, provides a context for why it occurs and provides simple strategies and healthy expressions. Caregivers and parents are supported with evidence-based strategies and ideas for fun activities in the strategy page section related to each emotion. Six strategy ideas are provided for each emotion. These are:
In the moment, for ideas to use when strong emotions are present
Look Inward, for mindful ways to build self-awareness of emotions and feelings
Look Outward, to encourage observational learning by directing attention to others
Get Moving, for movement activities that help to regulate and increase awareness
