Emotion Explorers, Week 2

Feelings come in different sizes, from a little bit bothered to very big.

Feeling words

  • Furious: very angry, when the feeling is big and hot
  • Uneasy: when something does not feel quite right

Something to try at home

"Was that a bit annoying, or really furious? You don't have to talk about it, but I'm here if you want to."

Good to know

There's no homework, and your child doesn't have to tell you about their sessions. You don't have to use the question above, and your child doesn't have to answer. "You don't have to talk about it. I'm here if you want to." is always fine too.

Emotion Explorers is an educational programme, and it doesn't replace professional support. If you're worried about your child, talk with their school, your GP or a registered health professional.

If you are worried about a child's safety right now, call 000. Other support: Lifeline 13 11 14, Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800, 13YARN 13 92 76, Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636.
