Feelings are visitors, so let's treat them as such!
Externalising big emotions in this way can help us be curious about these guests, and what they are trying to tell us. It is also a great way to develop emotional literacy and to bring in the all-important play!
'I wonder what colour sad is?
'I've noticed that happy arrives when we do this'
'Even adults get visited by nervous. I shake the wobbles out to my favourite song!'
'What does worried want to say?'
'Whoah, theres an excited party in your tummy!'
'Let's take 3 deep breaths of invisible magic dust to help scared feel calm'
