Dr. Jac reads books to children to teach emotional recognition, emotional understanding, social cues, and social skills. Sometimes Dr. Jac shares her interpretations, and other times she asks the children to look, notice, and decide for themselves. Dr. Jac may even revisit the same story a few times, once to ask questions, and then to share observations.

In the video description, Dr. Jac provides follow up activities for children to complete for further social-emotional growth.

If you have the book Dr. Jac is reading, try looking at it even closer. Also, feel free to pause the story to discuss Dr. Jac’s questions and your children’s observations. Dr. Jac tries to keep the pace moving, bur she knows your children may need more time to consider and respond.
