Feelings are invisible, but you can see them on people’s faces when they smile or frown. They change all the time like the weather outside. Sometimes you might feel two feelings at once, like being excited and a little bit nervous to ride a big slide!
Learning to talk about your feelings helps you grow up strong and brave. You can tell a grownup or a friend how you feel by using feeling words like happy, sad, angry, or scared. Drawing pictures of your feelings or acting them out can help you understand them better too!
- Scientists think that humans can feel over 30 different emotions!
- Even babies have feelings — they smile when they are happy and cry when they are upset.
- Your face has 43 muscles that help you show your feelings to the world!
