The big ideaLonely is a feeling that comes and goes. Tell a grown-up you trust.
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.
What Kit does.
Example 1: 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.
Example 2: 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.
Example 3: Wave and say hello
Wave your hand and say hello.
A hello can start a game.
Try it with someone you know.

For grown-upsIf your child says they feel lonely, answer as Kit's grown-up did, 'thank you for telling me', and then help them think of one friend to ask.
