The rounders have had a wildly fun day at Bouncer Bansku's birthday party at the amusement park. When it's time to end the party, it's hard for Poppy Banks to calm down. She'd like the party to go on all night! How on earth would the Rounders get Banska's spirals to count? Would an evening routine help? Emotional skills: self-control - verbal resolution of conflict - recovery from disappointment. Recognising emotions is the starting point for all social interaction. Once a child is aware of his or her own feelings, he or she understands himself or herself and others better and learns to regulate his or her behaviour in different situations. The fairy-tale world of the circles is designed to support children's learning of emotional skills. The stories in the books are an easy way to get to the heart of the subject and, at the same time, of the child's thoughts, for example, to discuss the events of the day at nursery or a fight with a big sister.
