Yesterday we dove into our emotions
We learnt about our nervous system, our body’s inner alarm system and explored how the exact same situation can create completely different feelings for different people.
We played a game where the girls were given different scenarios. Maybe you’d feel excited about having a babysitter for the night… while someone else might feel worried or even scared.
And that’s the thing about emotions, there’s no right or wrong way to feel.
We talked about what our bodies might need when big feelings show up.
When we’re angry, maybe it’s screaming into a pillow, stomping our feet or moving our bodies.
When we’re worried or scared, maybe it’s talking to someone, getting outside, breathing, having a cuddle or finding a quiet space.
When we’re sad, maybe we need to cry, journal, move, connect or simply give ourselves permission to feel it.
The goal isn’t to stop emotions from happening.
It’s learning to recognise them, understand what our body is telling us, and discover the tools that help us move through them.
The coolest part of yesterday’s conversation?
The girls understood that it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to show our emotions. And we can learn ways to support ourselves when those big feelings arrive.
That’s emotional wellbeing in action.
