How it works
Feelings are like weather inside us: sunny, rainy, stormy.
Every kind of weather is okay, and every feeling is okay.
When a feeling is big, a deep breath, a hug or telling someone can help.
Worked examples
Name the feeling
- Look at a face in a picture.
- Ask: how does this face feel?
- Say happy, sad, mad or scared.
- Every one of those feelings is okay.
Kit's tower falls
- Kit's tall tower comes tumbling down.
- He feels sad.
- A big hug helps the sad feeling go soft and slow.
Mad at the park
- Lila grabs Kit's ball, and Kit feels mad.
- He takes a deep breath, in and out, and the mad feeling shrinks.
- Then he asks, may I have my ball back, please?
Thunder at night
- Boom! Kit feels scared.
- He goes to his grown-up and says, I feel scared.
- Telling someone makes the scared feeling shrink, little by little.
