Emotion Explorers, Week 8
Children practise putting a feeling into a short sentence and saying what they need.
Feeling words
- Supported: someone is with you, so you are not carrying it alone
- Brave: asking or trying even though it is hard, not having no fear
Something to try at home
"That sounds tricky. Do you need a minute, help with this bit, or an adult?"
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.
