Feelings are emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and fear, and teaching kids to recognize and talk about them helps them understand themselves and others.
What Are Feelings?
Feelings are strong, honest emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, or anger. Children experience a wide range of emotions, including excitement, frustration, nervousness, envy, and embarrassment, but they often lack the words to express them clearly. Helping kids identify and name their feelings is the first step in emotional literacy.
