Living in the world with advanced technology, rapid globalization, diversified and multifaceted stimulants, children and youngsters are generally more intelligent and quick-minded.
It is a common belief among educators and theorists that successful careers and happy lives depend less on intellectual and cognitive ability, but more on emotional intelligence.
Seemingly intangible and incomprehensible, emotional intelligence is believed to be an under-explored element that can be learned, acquired, practised, internalized and eventually become a habit and a way of life.
This series of Family Editions of Little Mushroom story books is launched in an attempt to help children become more competent in identifying, expressing and managing their own emotions, and thus enhancing their quality of life. On the other hand, children are guided to
recognize, communicate and handle others’ emotions for better interpersonal relationships.
Through the presentation of the lovely cartoon character Little Mushroom, lively stories, diversified follow-up parent-child activities such as picture colouring, sharing, speaking practice, sticker fun, role plays and rhymes, children are guided to be equipped with higher emotional competence in a lively way.
In all story booklets, ‘Emotional Intelligence Tips’ provide parents with the knowledge of different positive and negative emotions. ‘Parent Tips’ after every activity give hints to parents for nurturing children’s different emotional competence. Family Editions of Little Mushroom
Story Books contain vibrant materials for emotional education and parent-child communication. We hope all readers, children, parents and teachers would find these story books enjoyable and useful in promoting emotional intelligence among those in the younger
