Emotion Explorers, Week 5
A feeling can lead to a thought and then an action, and there is often a choice in the middle.
Feeling words
- Impatient: in a hurry, when waiting feels too slow
- Determined: set on getting something done
Something to try at home
"You looked really determined with that today. What helped you keep going?"
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.
