Stories are a powerful tool to teach little ones to understand and manage their emotions. Through stories and characters, children can identify with situations similar to their own, learning in an entertaining way how to deal with emotions such as sadness, anger or joy. These stories not only entertain, but also offer valuable lessons about emotional management and empathy.
