How Will I Know When Your Feelings Are Hurt?

There are times when a child doesn’t realize that he or she has done or said something that has hurt someone else’s feelings. Tears may be running down another’s face, yet the child who caused the reaction may not connect it with their behavior. This book reminds kids that by looking at another’s face, he or she can tell if a person is happy or sad. A sad look can signal that something is wrong and that a child should step back and consider whether he or she is saying or doing something that may be hurting another’s feelings. The child who is telling his own story in this book realizes that he needs to start being alert to physical signals in order to make and keep friends.
