This social story is designed to help children understand and manage feelings of jealousy, particularly when a friend has something they want. It provides a gentle explanation of what jealousy is, how it can feel inside, and why it’s a natural emotion to experience.
The story uses relatable examples, such as when a friend has a toy or a new game that the child wishes they had. It explores the common feelings that come with jealousy, like wanting what someone else has or feeling upset about it.
Additionally, the story offers practical strategies for dealing with jealousy, such as talking to a trusted adult about feelings and finding ways to celebrate others’ happiness. It also reassures children that everyone feels jealous sometimes and encourages them to handle these emotions in a healthy and positive way.
What’s Inside?
Along with a 17-page social story, there’s also a shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to help engage children on each page.
