"In My Heart”

​​During our moments in life we may encounter various feelings … happiness, sadness, anger, shyness, bravery, and among many others.
Building-up our abilities to understand and manage one’s feelings wisely is important during our growing-up milestones. We can really flourish when we are able to recognize, reason, understand and manage emotions.

​Through reading “In My Hearts” storybook, written by Jo Witek, it enables us describe a wide range of emotions.

​The  process of understanding and managing feelings and emotions usually happens quite naturally when we are given ample opportunity to:

​

• authentically feel a range of feelings

​

• have a chance to reflect on our feelings and decisions

​

• problem solve as we grow and learn

---

​

• observe others experiencing a range of emotions and feelings​
• interact in different social situations
• experience negative feelings without being offered a quick fix

In closing, while we are able to feel our feelings authentically, to adapt to social expectations and grow well adjusted, we learn to understand our own emotions and feelings.
