Self · Week 2 — My Feelings Live Here

Wildlings build a vocabulary for naming and locating emotions in the body. The question is 'What does it feel like when I feel something?'

An emotion-vocabulary wall is built together with words beyond happy/sad/mad. Wildlings do a body-mapping exercise, marking where different feelings show up physically. Breathing and calming strategies are introduced and practiced as tools, not punishments. A read-aloud or story prompts discussion of a character's feelings. Wildlings add an emotions page to their Whole Self Book.

Normalize all feelings as information, not problems to fix.
