What's inside
😊 Naming Feelings
Feelings are like weather inside you: they roll in and they roll out. The first big skill is being able to name them.
🌬️ Calming Big Feelings
Sometimes a feeling gets so big it feels like it is driving. Here is how to take the wheel back.
💛 Kindness & Empathy
Empathy is imagining how someone else feels. It is a genuine superpower, and kindness is what you do with it.
🤝 Making Friends
Friends make everything better, and being a good friend is a skill you can practise, just like reading.
🦁 Speaking Up & Trying Again
Being brave does not mean never feeling scared. It means doing the right thing, and trying again, even when it is hard.
Key ideas
- Everyone has feelings, and all of them are okay: happy, sad, angry, scared, excited, worried, proud, calm.
- Feelings are not 'good' or 'bad'. What we DO with a feeling is what matters.
- Your body gives clues: a tight tummy, hot cheeks, a fast heartbeat or tears can tell you what you are feeling.
- Naming a feeling makes it smaller and easier to handle. Try: "I feel ___ because ___."
- Feelings change, just like weather. Even a very big feeling will not last forever.
