Worry.

Some of us worry a little.

Some of us worry all the time.

We worry because our homework is too hard, we worry because one of our parents is sick, we worry because we don't know if are friends are going to be nice to us or not.

Worrying is another normal emotion.

Sometimes the worry is scale 10 but the problem is only scale 2.

What can we do?

Slow down. Sometimes we rush to conclusions.

Break the problem into small pieces, deal with each small piece one at a time.

Look up for solutions. Can't remember the times tables? Look up for times tables on youtube!

Ask someone to show you how they did it.

Being Happy

Being happy is a wonderful feeling. 

Some people think that they need an expensive gadget, toy or trainers to be happy. 

These things might make you happy for a short while, but they do not give you real happiness. 

Make a list of the things you are grateful for. Even on a bad day, find ten things.

Laugh. Watch a funny video.

Be kind. Small acts of kindness cheer others up and in turn we feel good.

Exercise. Walk and cycle to school. Or put on a dance video and bop away!

Celebrate all your good things. Are you good at drawing? Are you good at cooking? Are you a good at sports? Maybe a good listener?

Smile at other children.

Hug the ones you love.

Feeling sad?

Feeling sad? You are not alone. We all feel sad at different times.

Sad feelings can last for a very short time or can last for a long time. Sometimes the feelings are strong, sometimes the feelings are very light. When sadness goes away, happiness shows herself. Sadness, like all the other emotions, is a natural feeling.

What can we do when we feel sad?

• See why you are feeling sad. Tell yourself that it’s ok. Remind yourself that things will get better.
• Do not give up. If you are feeling sad because you failed at something, try again. Well done for trying!
• Make a list of your good things. Sometimes when we are sad, we forget how many good things we have. Think of all the things that make you happy.
• Think of ways you can cope with problems. Coping with a problem or solving it makes you feel really good!
• Do happy things. Ride a bike, play sport, go for a run, dance, listen to music, spend time with the ones you love.
• If the sadness is there for a very long time please ask for help. Those who love you can help you a lot.

I'm so angry!

Ever felt so angry you want to cry? 

Feeling angry is OK!

Feeling angry is natural. 

It's how we deal with our anger that's important. 

Things you can do (some of them can be quite fun too).

Punch a cushion.

Breathe in and out. 

Do a calming activity. Like colouring in a mandala. 

Play a game that helps you focus.

Do some martial arts or any form of sport.

Pop bubbles or blow through a dragon cup 

(instructions coming soon!)

Push a wall or use a stress ball.

Above all, deal with what is making you angry. 

Talk to someone you love.
