Details
In less than four minutes (3:41), a cast of children narrate what it feels like when they are upset, in their body and their minds, what it feels like when they stop to take some deep breaths. We see how slowing down and becoming more aware enables them to recover and relate better with themselves and others. Adults appear in the film only briefly, as silent models, as if they were being directed, or instructed by the kids who here are the knowledge-holders.
The kids also talk about the stirred-up mind being like a jar full of water and glitter. Learn how to make this “Mind Jar” here.

The Monster Parade: A Book about Feeling All Your Feelings and Then Watching Them Go by Wendy O'Leary with illustrations by Noémie Gionet Landry (Bala Kids 2022) is a wonderful and playful way to approach the idea that feelings and thoughts are fleeting.
