It's OK to have feelings.

Everyone has feelings. Happy, sad, and angry are feelings we all have felt at one time or another. As you grow up, you start to feel other feelings. Can you guess what some of them might be?

What happens to our bodies when we start to feel these feelings? When you're happy, you feel like the sky is blue, the sun is out and you can see unicorns and rainbows. Your smile is bigger, and your eyes have a sparkle in them. What happens to your body when it's a feeling you've never felt before?

Come along and join in with all the other children learning how to identify feelings and what happens to their bodies when they feel those feelings.

Remember, it's OK to have feelings!

EXCERPT:

Have you ever felt scared ? Perhaps you’ve seen something scary on T.V. Maybe you have to go to the doctor’s office for an injection you know is going to hurt.

It’s not nice to feel scared, is it? Your body tenses, your heart races, and your eyes widen like saucers.

Just remember, though...

It’s OK to have feelings; this feeling of being scared will pass (and usually rather quickly).

Have you ever been talking to a friend and they just won’t listen?

Has someone ever kept following you in the playground even when you’ve asked them to stop? You start to glare, your voice becomes gruff, and your face becomes warm. You are feeling angry .

Just remember, though...

It’s OK to have feelings. It’s ok to feel angry. In fact, it’s normal to have this feeling. Your anger will go away.

Tomorrow is another day.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Aileen Pound and Michaela Robertson Keane are a mother and daughter team.

Michaela, who is six, is Aileen's only child, and they spend a lot of time doing lots of fun things together: going on adventures, creating and being imaginative at home. So last year, when they were housebound during COVID, they started talking a lot about feelings, especially ones that Michaela had never felt before. So they decided to write a book together to help other children with their feelings.

Aileen and Michaela spent a long time talking about what feelings to put in the book, and Michaela provided Aileen all the examples that are in the book. As with everything, they wrote this book together, and Michaela had a very clear image of how she wanted the illustrations to look.

GUEST POST:

- What is your happiest memory you have from when you were a child?

I have a lot of happy memories from when I was a child, so for me it’s very hard to chose just one. Instead I will tell you one of the happiest times from childhood. My dad got transferred to England for a year for work so we went across as a family. My mum, my dad, my younger brother and myself. I made some great friends at school and then on weekends my dad would take the family sightseeing. We saw so much of England, we travelled to Scotland to see family and went for trips to Greece, Switzerland and a few other countries.

At the end of the year I had made some great friends, and seen some amazing sights. It was from this trip that I found my love of travelling and history – especially English and Scottish history.
