It's OK

<p><strong>This sweet book teaches children 3&ndash;7 the simple and profound power of self-compassion through simple affirmations that can be repeated when things are hard.</strong></p> <p>All too often kids get down on themselves when they experience things that make them sad, angry, guilty, or jealous. It's amazing how powerful it can be to move past a difficult emotion when we think about all the other people feeling that same way and show ourselves some much needed kindness. <br /> <br /> Sometimes I have to do something I don't want to do. <br /> I feel really angry. . . . <br /> Then I remember that everyone feels angry sometimes. <br /> I put my hand on my heart, and here's what I say: <br /> "It's OK&mdash;I love you. I'm with you today."</p>
