HOPE

Everybody needs hope. Hope is believing that things will work out. Hope is believing that things will

get better. Everybody needs hope.

Feelings are a part of being a person. Everybody has

feelings...There aren’t right or wrong feelings. The

important thing is what you do with your feelings.

Kids have many different feelings everyday.

Happiness

Happiness is like a bright sunny day. Some kids smile when

they are happy. Some kids giggle when they are happy.

Some kids even cry when they are happy.

Sadness

Sadness is like a big, dark, rain cloud. Some

kids cry when they are sad. Some kids hide

like a turtle in their shell when they are

sad. Some kids look mad when inside

they are really, really sad.

Anger

Anger is like a volcano ready to erupt. Some kids

scream when they are mad. Some kids slam a door

or toss things around when they are mad. Some

kids cry when they are mad.

Scared

Scared is like a little mouse in a house full of big cats with no

where to go. Some kids hide when they are scared. Some kids

are scared of people, places, and things. Some kids try to act

big and strong when inside they are very scared.

Worried

Worry is like a person with too many thoughts in their head. Some kids think they same thought over and over when they are worried. Some kids feel their worry in their tummy. Some kids feel worry in other parts of their bodies, even in their head. Some kids try to make their worry go away by doing things over and over again like washing their hands or checking to make sure doors are locked.

Silly

Silly is like a big bouncy ball that bounces all over the

place. Some kids laugh at everything when they are

being silly. Some kids are like a bouncy ball bumping into

everybody when they are being silly.

Frustrated

Frustrated is like trying to open a locked door without a key.

You really want to get that door open but you just can’t

seem to figure out how to do it! Some kids give up when

they are frustrated. Some kids get mad when they are

frustrated. Some kids act like they don’t even care when

they are frustrated.

As you can see, feelings happen every day to every kid. The

most important thing to know is what to do with your feelings.

Some kids talk to their family and friends about their feelings.

Some kids talk to people at their school or in an office whose

job is to listen to kids talk about their feelings. Those people

are called counselors. I hope as you read this book, you realize

you are not alone. There are kids everywhere who have feelings

just like you. Remember.... Everybody needs hope.

El enojo se siente como se siente un volcan listo para

explotar. Algunos ninos gritan cuando se sienten enojados.

Algunos ninos tiran de las puertas o tiran cosas alrededor

cuando se sienten enojados. Algunos ninos lloran cuando

se sienten enojados.

Miedo

El miedo se siente como se siente un raton en una casa

llena de gatos grandes y sin salida. Algunos ninos se esconden

cuando sienten miedo. Algunos ninos sienten miedo de la

gente, lugares y cosas. Algunos ninos pretenden ser grandes

Preocupacion

La preocupacion se siente como se siente una persona con muchos pensamientos en su cabeza. Algunos ninos repasan el mismo pensamiento una y otra vez cuando se sienten preocupados. Algunos ninos sienten su preocupacion en el estomago. Algunos ninos sienten su preocupacion en otras partes del cuerpo, incluyendo sus cabezas. Algunos ninos tratan de hacer desaparecer su preocupacion haciendo algo una y otra y otra vez, como lavarse las manos o comprobar que las puertas esten cerradas con llave.

Frustracion

La frustracion se siente como se siente alguien que trata

de abrir una puerta bajo llave sin tener una llave. Realmente

quieren abrir la puerta pero simplemente no pueden averiguar

como hacerlo! Algunos ninos se dan por vencido cuando se

sienten frustrados. Algunos ninos se enojan cuando se sienten

frustrados. Algunos ninos cuando se sienten frustrados

actuan como si nada les importara.

!

Como puedes ver, cada dia todos los ninos experimentan

sentimientos. Lo importante es saber que hacer con tus

sentimientos. Algunos ninos platican con sus familiares y amigos

acerca de sus sentimientos. Algunos ninos platican con las

personas adultas de su escuela o de oficinas que se especializan

en escuchar a los ninos acerca de sus sentimientos. A tales

personas se les llama asesores (“counselors” en ingles).

Espero que cuando leas este libro, te des cuenta que no estas

solo. Por todas partes hay ninos que se sienten igual que tu.

Recuerda... todo el mundo necesita tener esperanza.
