The Mr. Emotions & Friends program has had consistent success improving behaviors and decision-making in young children. Included in this book are outlines for 10 workshops that can be expanded or shortened to meet your needs.With the Mr. Emotions & Friends curriculum you and your students can enter a world of colorful and friendly puppet stories, catchy and fun songs, role-playing, discussion, story-telling and crafts that transform important life lessons into memorable playful journeys.This curriculum helps children and educators to begin talking the same language of cooperation (I Use Words That Help), decision-making and self-control (Wait! Stop to Think. I Can Make a Good Choice), self-leadership (I am a Leader), kindness and empathy (Be Kind, We're In the World's Family), and self-worth (I am Important).We have also included tools to document and analyze learning.

As is the case with all of their workshops, this curriculum includes valuable lessons from the four principles of self-leadership that they utilize as the foundation of all of their training modules.- You matter. Be yourself.- Respect yourself and others.- Your decisions are your future.- Have goals and work to achieve them.
