This is not to blame our parents at this late age.Rather instead, "What Am I Feeling?" empowers and equips adults to fulfill their own lives now to give then their emotional validation and identification which an ideal parent from 20+ years ago just didn't have.This is a marvelous tool to add to your Life Mastery toolkit, whatever your age!Think of "What Am I Feeling?" as a really lovely illustrated short pamphlet which anyone can read at any time, complete with very practical "Real Life" applications with children.

So, it works well in any therapists waiting room or family therapist's resource shelf when working with children and families, as well as for anyone in a related helping profession such as a rabbi, pastor, or priest."What Am I Feeling?" is a quick tips reference manual to start to help you apply and distill the strategies and tips from the much lengthier John Gottman book,  Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child The Heart of Parenting .Part of what I so adored and appreciated about Gottman's book and the photographic illustrations from the marvelous Talaris Research Institute is how they just very sweetly without much fanfare managed to illustrate this quick guide with photographs of multiple races and ethnicities to empower and equip us all.Emotions span the barriers. And Gottman clearly desires to help us either as a parent or an adult. It's never too late to discover and empower yourself with identifying, "What Am I Feeling?"

This is a short book (maybe for kids problems) but seems to have relevant info for all problems.

Excellent resource for parents looing for an emotionally intelligent way to raise children. This book is an abbreviated version of "Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child" and is geared more toward parents or others looking for a quick primer on the subject of emotional intelligence and children. I would recommend this for parents looking for helpful advice when teaching children how to handle emotions and how to react appropriately as a parent. The parent shows appropriate behavior to the child who internalizes and learns how to handle his/her emotions.

This has got to be the best, most direct and simple read method of not just evaluating parenting styles for raising kids, but in being able to pin point and understand the dynamic in which you were raised and have something to work off of when exploring your own self in therapy. Eye opener.

Excellent. I want to share this with everyone!!! Very simple yet profound. Please buy a case and pass them out to new parents, teachers, everyone.

This book is fantastic.Its the shorter version of the emotion coaching book. For many parents I'd recommend starting here because you can actually get the gist of the meat of the book.

Concise presentation of how to cultivate emotional awareness in young children. Frankly, as an adult I found some of the gems to be useful. My only complaint is that it isn't longer! But then it wouldn't have been so digestible. Great read!

This book is wonderful for helping parents coach their kids about emotions. I recommend this for everyone. It is an easy to read book.

Don't spend 10 euros on it. Just get a book that talks about the same topic, but much more in a detail - a great book that is highly recommended by the same author - how to raise an emotionally intelligent child

I was interested in learning more...Very basic introduction and very short...Good for someone who's only just being introduced to this concepts...
