  1. Ask a grown-up to help you find the words. · A trusted grown-up can help you find words. You do not have to explain everything alone.

  3. True · You can use two feeling words when both fit how you feel.
  4. Tell a teacher how you feel and ask for help. · A safe pause is okay. Afterward, telling a teacher how you feel can help you get support.
  5. I feel annoyed when you change the channel. · The sentence names annoyed as the feeling and changing the channel as the event.
