Friends are people we like to be with. We play with them, share our food, help them when they fall, and tell them our secrets. A good friend is kind, honest, and fair. Friends can be of any age: a classmate, a neighbour, a cousin, or even a grandparent can be a friend. We should not choose friends by how rich they are, what they look like, or what language they speak. Everyone deserves a friend, so we should include children who are new or shy.
All people have feelings. We feel happy when we win a game, sad when we lose a pet, angry when someone is unfair, scared during a thunderstorm, and proud when we do something well. Feelings are not good or bad; they are natural. But we must learn to show them in a healthy way. When you are angry, take a deep breath and count to ten instead of hitting. When you are sad, talk to someone you trust. Some people cannot see or hear, or need a wheelchair, but they have the same feelings as everyone else and want the same respect.
Example: Make a feelings chart with five faces: happy, sad, angry, scared, and surprised. For one week, each evening draw a tick next to the face that shows how you felt that day and write one line about why.
