How it works
An uh-oh feeling is your body's own alarm. It can beep before your mind knows why.
Maybe your tummy flips, your chest feels tight or your ears go warm.
You do not need a reason. A feeling is enough to stop and ask.
Notice, pause, ask.
An uh-oh feeling is worth listening to. You need no reason to stop and ask.

No. You still did right.
Stop and tell a grown-up. That is a big alarm.
Tell a grown-up about an uh-oh feeling, and plan what to do next time.
Share an uh-oh feeling of your own, like Uncle Moe at the dentist, so your child knows everyone has an alarm. Then plan together what they do next time.
