[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 190888, member: 1233"] She may say that because she truly doesn't know. It takes time and work to be able to put feelings into words. Can she draw you a picture of how she felt? We used a book of faces to help Wiz learn to put feelings into words. Often there were more than one feeling to identify and that was very confusing to him. There are also posters of feelings (and when she is sick or injured there are pain scales that are faces - VERY helpful to have so you can help when your child may need medicine for pain and you aren't sure). Here is a link to a poster that has faces for different feelings: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Today-Borgman-Print-Poster/dp/B000MYM5D4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1220511273&sr=8-7"]Amazon.com: How Are You Feeling Today? by Jim Borgman 18"x24" Art Print Poster: Home & Garden[/ame] Here is another one that uses the yellow "smiley faces" with different expressions: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Individual-Feelings-Emotions-Emoticons-Feeling/dp/B0012ISZ5G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1220511701&sr=8-4"]Amazon.com: Mood Meter Magnet / Individual Feelings Chart (Emotions, Moods, Emoticons) How Are You Feeling Today?: Office Products[/ame] This is a book by Aliki that explains a number of feelings and might be appealing: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Feelings-Reading-Rainbow-book-Aliki/dp/068806518X/ref=pd_sim_b_3"]Amazon.com: Feelings (Reading Rainbow book): Aliki: Books[/ame] Jamie Lee Curtis also has a book about feelings called "Today I feel Silly" that is both helpful AND enjoyable (she has a number of children's books that are pretty cool).
