Thoughts from a Nurtured Heart . . .

Facing Feelings

As the last of the Halloween jack-o-lantern faces are folding in on themselves they sometimes change expressions. On a neighborhood walk the other day I started snapping photos wondering how kids would use their feelings vocabulary to describe various grins and grimaces as well as words these faces might be saying. Given the importance of helping children learn to talk about and express their feelings, using pumpkins seems like a great opportunity to talk about feelings in a non-threatening way.

I've linked a couple lists of feelings words and
shared some examples from them below:

    The Thoughts from a Nurtured Heart blog includes ideas and perspectives encountered through intentional living. Posts include ideas that support NHA but are not necessarily explicit teachings of Howard Glasser. I've done my best to properly attribute ideas I borrow from others.
