How to talk about “What are feelings and emotions?” with children;
Everybody has feelings – they are part of us. We feel different things all day long as different things happen to us.
Sometimes we feel sad – eg. when someone we love goes away.
Sometimes we feel happy – eg. when we are having fun playing.
Sometimes we feel scared, angry, confused, lonely, surprised or any of a huge range of human emotions.
It is important not to be ashamed of having feelings. Everyone has them – good and bad.
What counts is what we do about our feelings – we can all learn to show our feelings in ways that are helpful to us and to others, not ways that are hurtful.
