When we meet our child after school or a class (piano, chess, art etc) or sports we ask “ what you did? We often miss out the range of feelings a child has gone through in any experience, let’s ask “How did you feel today in or after the class?”

Often we feel ‘playing is fun’…..lets explore the challenges behind…some of the kids shared after an action packed week which looked ‘fun for kids’.

  • This week, I felt frightened, happy, angry, excited.
  • This week I felt Yeah!, hungry, thoughtful and nervous (while making roof).
