The Toolkit

Emotional Wheel

Identifying emotions is a key part of emotional intelligence. When children and adults can name what they feel, they communicate more clearly, regulate emotions more effectively, and make wiser choices. We can’t
manage what we can’t name.

Beyond Awareness: The Power of Emotional Resilience 

Angela Legh is best known as the author of her children’s fantasy book series, The Bella Santini Chronicles, as well as the writer/director/producer of the television show Unfiltered Parenting. For over 50 years, Angela experienced abuse, bullying, and belittlement, and through that exposure, she developed emotional management methods that are shared via her books and her show.

Angela has been featured in USA Today; she is a syndicated Los Angeles Tribune newspaper and magazine columnist and has countless other media exposures. When Angela isn’t writing children’s stories or magazine articles, she can be found hiking in the beautiful wilderness of Taos, New Mexico.
