Feelings and Friends

Goal: Name more feelings, use one way to calm down, and play fairly with others.

For parents: Calming down is a skill that must be practised when calm. Try the breathing before it is needed.

Do together

  1. Feelings cards

    You need: Paper, crayons

    Draw faces for happy, sad, angry, scared, excited and worried. At bedtime, pick the card for how today felt and talk about why.

  2. Flower and candle breathing

    You need: Nothing

    Smell the flower (breathe in slowly through the nose), blow out the candle (breathe out through the mouth). Five times.

  3. A page of kind moments

    You need: Paper and a crayon

    Draw or describe one kind thing someone did today. Ask how it may have felt to give or receive that help. Let your child add a mark or picture. Keep it as a shared memory, without counting kind acts for a prize.
