Handling Strong Feelings

On this Quest, you'll discover…

Learn what to do when a feeling is bigger than you expected — in yourself and in someone else.

• Notice what your body does when a feeling becomes very strong.
• Practise calming strategies such as slow breathing, moving, or stepping away for a moment.
• Learn to read other people's feelings from their face, voice and body.
• Respond kindly to somebody who is upset, without teasing them or fixing it for them.
• Work out who you talk to when a feeling is too big to handle by yourself.
