ABSTRACT

Introduction to Session 5 My body, thoughts and feelings all go together Young children may experience feelings as being things that come out of nowhere! We can teach them that often we have a thought which generates a feeling and then that feeling gets expressed in our bodies either internally, for example the feeling of butterflies in our tummies, or externally by the expression on our faces or how we are standing. In this way, we link the idea of thoughts, feelings and actions so that children can begin to become more conscious that thinking is related to feelings and actions.
