Shelby Nace, social worker at KC Healthy Kids, hosts a monthly story time at PH Coffee to help young children explore and understand their feelings. Each month, she shares a book from the series “A Little Spot of Emotion," by Diane Alber. The books help teach kids how to navigate emotions in a fun and relatable way.
"It's never too early for to start talking to kids about mental health," Shelby says. "These social-emotional focused book titles help children (and adults) build their emotional vocabularies and learn important skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and problem-solving, laying a strong foundation for their later development." Join Shelby at PH Coffee (2200 Lexington Ave, KCMO) at 10 a.m. on the following Mondays: June 10, July 15, August 12, September 16 and October 21. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Families receive a free book while supplies last. For questions, please email Shelby Nace, LMSW. Want to help more kids and families learn about their emotions? Shop Shelby's Amazon wish list so she won't run out of books to send home with them. Comments are closed.
