What Am I Feeling?

Naming emotions, understanding big feelings and learning that all feelings are okay.

Before kids can manage a big feeling, they need to be able to name it — and at this age, that's often the missing piece. This topic is a vocabulary-builder for emotions as much as anything else: mad, sad, jealous, embarrassed, excited, worried, all given words and permission.

Scenarios walk through recognizing what a feeling is called, what to do when a feeling gets too big to hold in, understanding that all feelings — even the uncomfortable ones — are okay to have, and simple ways to calm down when something upsets you.
