STORY SUMMARY: This essential SEL story teaches children the crucial skill of Self-Awareness and Emotional Identification, using the simple, empowering tool: The "Feeling Forecast"! Meet Timmy the Tiger, who is lost in a "heavy smoke cloud" of confusion because he can't name the hot, wobbly feeling inside him.

THE EDUCATIONAL MESSAGE FOR PARENTS : Teaching children to name their feelings (emotional literacy) is the first and most vital step toward Emotional Intelligence and Self-Regulation. This story provides a clear, three-step, mind-body framework for achieving this skill.

The story teaches children:

The Power of Pause: It highlights the importance of stopping the reaction (stomping/screaming) before trying to understand the feeling.

Body-Emotion Connection: The Check the Body step teaches children to identify how emotions manifest physically (hot ears, wobbly tummy).

Control Through Naming: The Name the Forecast step gives the child a sense of control over the emotion, shifting them from being overwhelmed by the feeling to being aware of the feeling.
