A Little SPOT of Learning: A Story About Managing Emotions While Learning (Inspire to Create A Better You!)

The Spots are heroes in our household!! Diane Alber's titles have helped us teach our 7-year-old son and family about emotions and feelings and the vocabulary growing minds need to express themselves thoughtfully, precisely, and honestly. Can assist non-verbal minds with communicating about "tangled," "scribbled," emotions. Visualizations are a home-run for helping youngest minds benefit from these books. Advanced vocabulary is fluently translated into ideas kids can relate to. Alber uses imagination to bridge a gap in reality and make learning about topics that may be difficult for kids to address by introducing the Spots and friends who help children nurture not only emotional intelligence and mature behavior, but a genuine *understanding* of why they, or others, might feel and behave in all kinds of ways. Something for everyone!!!

This book really helps kids to understand how to deal with emotions relating to school work. Then it also gives strategies for helping deal with the emotions.

How to express emotions in an acceptable manner, I cannot wait to share this book with others.

My wheels are already turning on how I will use this book. It is a PERFECT addition to the rest of the Spots and one I know is of utmost importance in a school setting. I have taught students about all the Spots and their respective emotions. Purple Spot attaches learning to the big feelings kids have in any environment, not just school. I've owned this book for 5 minutes and already know it will be my GO-TO book for classroom guidance lessons, small groups, and 1-1 counseling. THANKS, Diane, for another color in my wheel of tools that is appropriate, meaningful, and FUN for kids to learn how to manage their emotions while learning, whether they're at school, home, on the playground, or in the community. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

A great story for kids who sometimes struggle with frustration when learning new things. 👩‍🏫 My 6 year old girl enjoyed it.

All the little spot books are awesome! This one is no different!

These books are phenomenal and a must have in all children’s libraries. Diane Alber has a way to capture these children. They have so much Fun reading and looking at the wonderful illustrations.

I love how this book is like a combination of the other feelings books. Kids will learn about difficult feelings, how difficult feelings affect learning, how to resolve a conflict and how to help others and spread kindness. I can’t wait to read this with some of my younger students who are struggling with the learning at school process.

The Little Spot books are fantastic to use teaching kids about different emotions and emotion regulation. I have almost all of them and use them daily in my psychology practice. Highly recommended!

As a mom and teacher, this book will help kids know that their Mothe emotions are OK and that they are learning. The bright pictures and the purple spot growing helps kids connect at their level and make it understandable for them.Such a fun book!:-)
