Reading “Double Dip Feelings”


We all have feelings and sometimes we experience more than one at the same time, such as pride and fear or joy and sadness. The book “Double Dip Feelings: Stories to Help Children Understand Emotions,” by Barbara S. Cain and Anne Patterson, and the corresponding art directive, aim to help kids understand conflicting feelings and offers a creative tool for exploring them. 

Listen to this story, read by Heather Stemas, M.Ed., ATR-BC, LCPAT, an art therapist with Children's National Hospital Creative and Therapeutic Art Services.
