# Feelings Change and Differ

Understand that everyone has feelings, that feelings change throughout the day, and that the same event can make different people feel different things

- Recognise that feelings are temporary and can change

## Lesson: Feelings change and differ

You feel many things in one day. You might feel happy, then worried, then calm again. That is normal. Feelings come and go.

**Example.** Mia woke up excited. It was her birthday. At school she felt shy when friends sang to her. By dinner she felt happy and tired. Her feelings changed all day.

*(drawing: Mia's feelings changed as her birthday went on, one feeling at a time.)*

**Example.** Ben and his sister saw a big spider. Ben felt curious and leaned in close. His sister felt scared and ran away. Same spider, two different feelings.

**Tip.** There is no wrong feeling. You and a friend can feel different things about the same event. Both feelings are okay.

**Recap.** Feelings change all day, and people feel differently about the same event.
