😀
Happy
Light and bubbly, like you could skip and sing!
Name it
💛 Lots of Feelings
😢
Sad
Heavy and teary. It helps to talk or have a hug.
😠
Angry
Hot and stompy. Take big breaths to cool down.
😨
Scared
Jumpy and nervous. Being brave means feeling scared and trying anyway.
🤩
Excited
Zoomy and wiggly, like waiting for something fun!
😴
Tired
Slow and yawny. Your body is asking for a rest.
💗 Here's a secret: there are no "bad" feelings. Feelings are like waves — they come, and they always pass. The brave thing is to name what you feel. Saying "I feel angry" already helps a little!
Big feelings?
🌬️ Calm-Down Tricks
- Balloon breaths: breathe in slowly through your nose like you're blowing up a balloon, then let it out s-l-o-w-l-y. Do it 5 times. 🎈
- Count 5 things: look around and name 5 things you can see. It helps your brain feel safe. 👀
- Squeeze and let go: squeeze your fists tight for 5 seconds, then let them flop loose. 🤲
- Talk it out: tell a grown-up you trust how you feel. You don't have to hold it alone. 💬
- Move your body: jump, dance, or stretch to shake the big feeling out! 🕺
