What are share feelings?

Share feelings are when you tell someone what you’re thinking or feeling, so they can understand you better.

Imagine you have a favorite toy, let's say it’s a red ball. When you're happy, you might laugh and run with it. But if the ball rolls away and you can’t find it, you might cry. If your friend sees this, they might come over and say, “Are you sad because your ball is missing?” That’s sharing feelings, you’re letting them know what’s inside your head.

Sometimes, sharing feelings is like sending a letter to someone else. You write down how you feel on paper and give it to them. They read the letter and understand why you felt that way. It helps you both feel closer.

If you share your feelings with friends or family, they can help you when you’re upset or make you happy when you're feeling lonely. You don’t need magic, just a little talk!
