This is perfect to be used before bedtime. -Calm Down: FEELU encourages children to accept all feelings and then offers several strategies that can help little ones to calm down. -Feelu’s words: There is an introductory video about basic concepts of emotional learning. -Games: Two learning games are here to practice identifying and exploring different feelings. The first game is about expressing a specific feeling in response to an event or incident. There is no wrong or right answer, and the child can choose any emotion. The second game is about recognizing facial expressions that are associated with emotions. 2. Kindness -Be Kind: Here is all about kindness. There is a short video that encourages being kind to all people, including ones with special needs. It teaches compassion to all human beings, and even animals. -How Be Kind: There are some simple examples to show how small but valuable a kind act can be. -Handle Bullying: FEELU suggests 3 simple steps to be followed if the child is bullied or abused. Please repeat these steps regularly with the child to encourage him/her to act properly in such cases. 3. Mindfulness -Meditation: This is a 5-breath meditation that helps children be calm and mindful, and relax their bodies. This short meditation can be used daily, after having a tantrum or a difficult negative feeling, or even before bedtime for better sleep. -Be Grateful: The child will also be encouraged to think of something that he/she is grateful for. Finding something small to be grateful for, like reading a book or playing with a friend, can improve overall happiness. Our goal is to improve the social-emotional skills of 1 million kids. FEELU spread love, kindness, and happiness by promoting the mental health of all children, including autistic children and children with special needs.
