Three small ideas, big over time.
Kids learn to label emotions before they explode — sad, jealous, embarrassed, proud.
Even the prickly ones (anger, disappointment) belong at the table. Feelings aren't bad behavior.
The Festival ends. Storms pass. Knowing a feeling is temporary helps a kid sit with it.
Three questions for after the read.
- Which feeling did you recognize the most?

- What helps your feelings feel calmer?
