How it works
Lonely is a feeling when we want a friend near.
Every feeling is okay, and lonely feelings come and go.
We can tell a grown-up we trust, or ask a friend to play.
Worked examples
Tell a grown-up
- Sit by your grown-up and say, I feel lonely.
- Your grown-up says, thank you for telling me.
- Telling a grown-up you trust makes the lonely feeling smaller.
Ask a friend
- Take a big breath and walk over to a friend.
- Ask, can I play too?
- A friend says yes, and now you are playing together.
Wave and say hello
- Wave your hand and say hello.
- A hello can start a game.
- Try it with someone you know.
