Overview
It is finally time for Hadley the hedgehog to go back to school. Even though she knows that things will be different this year, she feels ready. What she soon realizes, however, is that there will be difficulties in understanding and communicating emotions while wearing facemasks. Join the Compassionate Critters as they embark on a journey of emotional understanding and come up with creative and compassionate ways to communicate feelings.
Description
At a time when we have to literally mask our emotions, communicating has become increasingly more difficult for children and adults alike. Young children who rely heavily on facial expression now have to find new ways of figuring out how others are feeling. Hadley’s Hidden Smile aims to help do just that. For caregivers of all kinds from parents, to teachers, to therapists and more the book not only explores the now common problem but also offers a range of solutions. Included is a list of discussion questions and games to help teach children to look for other clues in tone and pitch of voice and expressive eye movements for “clues” as to how others are feeling and learn how to communicate better themselves when they have to wear a mask.
