Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 5

Two weeks ago we shared with you the Feeling Buddies “How Do You Feel Chart”

This week we are sharing a short Feeling Buddies lesson with Teaching Inger for your little ones at home:

We have also included some footage from an actual Feeling Buddies lesson with your little ones earlier this year:

Based on current brain research, child development information, and developmentally appropriate practices, the Feeling Buddies Self-Regulation Curriculum created by Dr. Becky A. Bailey and Lety Valero form an integral part of the Watering Whole.

According to Howard Gardner, human beings have not just one form of intelligence, but actually multiple intelligences. These intelligences form part of who we are and need to be developed and strengthened in order for us to grow and thrive as individuals.

One of the key intelligences we should be focusing on in early childhood development is Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence is the “ability to recognise, understand and manage our own feelings as well as the feelings of others. It is the ability to show understanding and empathy, and it involves the ability to see things from other points of view” (Henig).
