Emotion Explorers, Week 9
Children bring their feeling words together to think through everyday falling-outs with friends.
Feeling words
- Fed up: when you have had enough of this
- Hopeful: a good thing might still happen
Something to try at home
"Sounds as if you were fed up, and maybe a bit left out too. What's one tiny next thing you could try?"
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.
