Have you ever felt two feelings at the same time — like excited AND scared?

Before you start

Watch How to Deal With Emotions by BBC Teach (5 min) — Notice how different feelings show up in your body. Does your tummy feel funny when you're nervous? Do your hands clench when you're angry?

How many different feelings can you name? Try to write down at least 8.
Think about yesterday — what feelings did you have? What caused them?
When you feel really angry, what do you usually do?

Sam's Big Day

Sam woke up on Monday morning. Today was the school play! He had the main part. His tummy felt like it was full of butterflies. Was he excited? Was he scared? Actually, he was both — and that's completely normal. At breakfast, his sister took the last piece of toast. Sam felt a flash of anger. 'That's not fair!' he shouted. His mum said gently, 'I can see you're feeling cross. Take a deep breath and tell me what happened.' Sam took a breath. The anger got smaller. He said, 'I'm nervous about the play, and I really wanted that toast.' His mum smiled. 'That makes sense. You're feeling a lot of feelings today, aren't you?' Naming his feelings helped Sam understand them. And understanding them helped him feel better.

The Feelings Thermometer

Imagine a thermometer — but instead of temperature, it measures how BIG your feelings are. **Level 1 — Calm:** Everything is fine. You feel relaxed and happy. **Level 2 — A bit wobbly:** Something has bothered you. You feel a little annoyed or a bit worried. **Level 3 — Getting hot:** Your feelings are getting bigger. Your heart might beat faster. You might feel like shouting. **Level 4 — Boiling!** Your feelings are VERY big. You might cry, shout, or want to run away. The trick is to notice when you're at Level 2, BEFORE you reach Level 4. That's when you can use your calming tools — deep breaths, counting to ten, squeezing your hands, or telling a grown-up how you feel.
