Emotions Have Names: Building Your Child's Feelings Vocabulary

Every parent has watched a child melt down over something small, only to wonder what truly sparked the outburst. Often, the real culprit is a feeling too big to name. In *Emotions Have Names*, parenting writer Anaya Bright Coleman offers a gentle, practical roadmap for helping children—from toddlerhood through the early school years—develop the vocabulary to recognize and express their inner world. Drawing on warm storytelling and proven communication techniques, this book shows you how to turn everyday moments into opportunities for emotional learning: the bedtime chat that untangles anxiety, the sibling squabble that becomes a lesson in fairness, the quiet tears that open a door to sadness. You’ll learn to model healthy self-expression while protecting your child’s sense of safety and privacy at home. More than a skill, this vocabulary builds trust between you and your child, strengthens sibling bonds, and even deepens partnership with your co-parent as you align on a shared language for big feelings. Whether you have a toddler just learning “happy” and “sad” or a school-aged child navigating jealousy or disappointment, this book meets you where you are. Part of The Modern Parenthood Library.
