DealingWithFeelings

Dealing with Feelings
By: Krista Stillson & Megan Poppovich

When I feel lonely …
I talk to a friend or family member.

When I feel annoyed …
I take deep breaths to feel calm.

When I feel bummed …
I watch a funny movie to cheer me up.

When I feel afraid …
I hug my favorite stuffed animal.

When I feel excited …
I put a big smile on my face.

When I feel frustrated …
I take a long walk.

When I feel nervous …
I listen to music.
