Encourage the children to put into practise some of their ideas for how people can be helped when feeling a given emotion (over-excited/nervous/worried/upset).Time for reflection: Model the thought process of the puppet as the children offer their support/advice.Key Question: Did your words/ideas help? How? Why? Positive conclusion: Display images of families/friends/places of worship/clubs and explain that feeling alone can make the emotions we feel even harder to deal with. Explain that sharing how we feel and talking to those we trust can really help.
