currently, am working on explaining the message behind my children book, which is my strategy in promoting emotional intelligence.

reading books to children on a daily basis makes me think of how books could be written in a certain way. I published my story loaded with an open-ended question because I want children to think and comprehend not just listen and daydream. I also found that my teaching strategy has worked over the past two years and I want to share it with all the teachers -, especially preschool teachers.

My book Stop! breathe! and think is my actual teaching strategy. to promote children emotional development I tend to create a story about a child dealing with a problem. This book is one of the problems I presented to my students. usually, I have cards with children pictures. I start by reading the story presenting the problem to the children. on their cards, I write their answers on how they think we should solve that problem. eventually, we get to read every one solution and suggestions. children by this will learn to express their opinion, feel accomplished, gain confidence, understand emotions, engage with teacher, and most important learn that whenever we have a problem we just need to stop breathe and think. for every problem, there must be a solution. preschool teachers understand how for a 4-5 years old child a problem could mean that the world is coming to an end.
