Facts for kids
Word for word as the game reads them aloud.
Everyone has feelings
Everyone has all kinds of feelings, even grown-ups.
All feelings are okay
Every feeling is okay. What we do with our feelings is what matters.
Feelings come and go
Feelings are like clouds in the sky. They come, and they go again.
Two at once
You can have two feelings at the same time. Happy and a little scared, on your first day at school.
Your body knows
Your body shows feelings too. A tummy full of butterflies, or a hot face when you are angry.
Faces talk
Faces show how we feel. Look at the eyes, the eyebrows and the mouth.
Say it
Saying how you feel helps. Try it: I feel sad, or I feel happy.
Slow breaths
Slow, deep breaths tell your body: it is okay, you can calm down.
Animals feel too
Animals have feelings too. A happy dog wags its tail.
Crying is okay
Crying is okay, for everyone. Tears can help you feel better.
Kind is good
Being kind makes others feel good, and it makes you feel good too.
Ask a friend
You can ask a friend: how do you feel? Then you can help each other.
Hugs help
A hug can help a lot. Ask first: do you want a hug?
Questions kids ask
Is it okay to feel angry?
Yes, every feeling is okay, even angry. What matters is what we do with it: hitting, kicking or throwing things is not okay, because it can hurt someone.
Why do I cry?
Crying is one way your body shows a big feeling, like sad, scared or angry. Everyone cries sometimes, grown-ups too, and it can help you feel better.
What helps when I feel scared?
Being close to a grown-up you trust helps most: hold a hand, ask for a hug or say what scares you. A teddy and slow breaths can help too.
How can I calm down when I am upset?
Breathe in slowly through your nose and out through your mouth, a few times. You can also count to five, rest in a quiet spot or draw how you feel.
How do I know how someone else feels?
Look at their face and body: the eyes, the eyebrows and the mouth tell you a lot. If you are not sure, you can simply ask: how do you feel?
Can I feel two things at once?
Yes. You can be happy and a little scared at the same time, for example on your first day at a new school.
Why does my body feel funny when I have a big feeling?
Feelings happen in your body too. Your face can get hot when you are angry, and your tummy can feel like butterflies when you are nervous.
Do feelings stay forever?
No. Feelings come and go, like clouds in the sky. A sad or angry feeling gets smaller again, and a grown-up can help you while you wait.
Why do I feel shy with new people?
New people and new places can feel big. Feeling shy is okay, and it usually gets easier as you get to know them.
Do grown-ups have feelings too?
Yes. Grown-ups feel happy, sad, angry and scared, just like children. They also need to calm down sometimes.
How can I talk about feelings with my young child?
Name the feeling you see: you look angry because the tower fell. This gives your child a word for it and shows that feelings can be talked about.
What should I do when my child hits because they are angry?
Stay calm and say clearly that hitting hurts and is not allowed, while showing you still care. Then help your child find another way, like breathing, stomping outside or talking.
Talk about it
- What made you feel happy today? And was there a moment when you felt something else?
- How does your body feel when you are angry? Where do you feel it?
- When a friend is sad, what could you do to help?
Feelings faces mirror game
Sit in front of a mirror together. Take turns making a happy, sad, angry, scared or surprised face, and let the other person guess the feeling. Then share one time you felt that way.
