Naming Feelings
Count feelings with the Count!
- Watch the video together, then ask kids to name the feelings they saw. Or, they might try naming some from the video and then try to add more.
- Ask kids: “Did you have any of those feelings today? Which ones?” Let them know that people can have lots of different feelings—sometimes all in one day or all at one time! Remind them that all of those feelings are okay.
