Our lives are filled with new happenings and new people all the time. We all react differently and feel emotions in every situation. It is OK to feel these different emotions, and it helps if we are able to manage these feelings (especially feelings of anger and sadness). It is also important to recognise and understand other people’s feelings too.
FEELINGSmake us HUMAN
CAN YOU RECOGNISE THESE FEELINGS?
Look at these faces and tick the emotion you think they are showing.
MANA GING YOUR EMOTIONS
When we have strong feelings – we sometimes have to manage them and keep them under control.
THINGS THAT MAY HELP
Talking to a friend who you trust. Talking to an adult if you feel overwhelmed. Remind yourself that it may be just for the moment and that it is going to pass. (You may be very disappointed or sad now – but it will pass and you will manage your feelings better tomorrow.)
Writing down your feelings in a journal can help you sort out how you are feeling.
