Emotions and feelings are like messages that you get from your mind and body to help you understand what is happening inside you.

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.

FREE 4 ALL monthly Primary School Newspaper for Foundation & Intermediate Phase, & FREE 4 ALL High School Newspaper for Senior & FET Phase, are delivered free to learners in Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West & Western Cape.

MANAGING 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.
