Every feeling is OK! Learn to spot feelings on faces, guess how friends feel, choose kind things to do, and find your calm.
FOR GROWN-UPS
Naming feelings helps children understand and manage them. The game teaches that all feelings are OK; what matters is what we do with them.
Many stories have more than one good answer, because people can feel different things about the same event. Ask your child: “How would you feel?”
The Calm corner practises slow balloon breathing (in for 4, out for 4) and the 5-4-3-2-1 senses game. Try them together when things are calm, so they are easier to use when they are not.
If a child often seems very sad, worried or angry, talk with their doctor, school counselor or a mental health professional.
