Got A Little One With BIG FEELINGS?

A special 20% off promo code for Mac Kid readers. Sponsored

April 24, 2013

Ugh.  Some of the hardest issues we face as parents have everything to do with our kids learning to appropriately express their anger, instead of lashing out at us well-intentioned, hard-working parents (who NEVER have anger issues of our own, right???)

Well, thank goodness for The Mother Company’s new book, When Miles Got Mad, which helps young children learn to recognize and express their anger in a really great way:  when his little brother breaks his favorite toy, MILES GETS MAD. As his anger swells, he catches sight of himself in the mirror—but instead of his own reflection, a furry red monster with big round eyes and funny teeth stares back at him.  Miles learns that while anger can sometimes feel like a big, scary monster inside, using words can really help tame and regulate those big, overwhelming feelings.


When Miles Got Mad is the newest book in The Mother Company’s line of products, created with the mission of “Helping Parents to Raise Good People.” Based on the award-winning video, Ruby’s Studio: The Feelings Show, (named “DVD of the Year” by Creative Child Magazine), all four books in the Ruby’s Studio “Feelings Series” provide tools for young children to help them navigate and understand their feelings.  Ruby’s Studio products have been awarded the Gold Mom’s Choice Award, the Gold Parent’s Choice Award, The Coalition for Quality Children’s Media “Kids First” Award, and the National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval.

Other Ruby’s Studio products currently include 3 books - Sally Simon Simmons’ Super Frustrating Day, A Little Book About Feelings, and My Feelings Activity Book; 2 videos – The Feelings Show and The Friendship Show; as well as apps, plush and more.  All titles are available at RubysStudio.com.  We can’t wait to see more shows, books and apps, coming down the pike this year!  (And they also have a super helpful parenting site, too:  TheMotherCo.com.)
