EMOTION OF THE WEEK: ENTHUSIASM
This week, we are exploring the wonderful emotion of Enthusiasm! π
Enthusiasm is the feeling of excitement, interest and enjoyment we experience when we are really excited about something. It can make us feel full of energy and ready to jump in and have a go! β¨
π What can enthusiasm look and feel like?
π Smiling and laughing
π Clapping or cheering
π€© Bright, excited eyes
πΊ Jumping, moving or wanting to join in
π¬ Talking excitedly about something we love
β‘ Feeling full of positive energy
π Why is enthusiasm helpful?
Enthusiasm can motivate us to try new things, explore, learn and keep going. When children share their excitement, it can also inspire the people around them and create a positive and joyful environment.
This week, we will encourage the children to recognise the things that make them feel excited and passionate, while learning that it is wonderful to share our interests and celebrate the things we enjoy! ππ
π¨βπ©βπ§ Family conversation starters:
π¬ βWhat made you feel excited today?β
π¬ βWhat is something you really enjoy doing?β
π¬ βHow does your body feel when you are excited?β
Together, we can help children recognise, understand and express their emotions in healthy and positive ways. π±β¨
