Today's Story
Meet Buzz, a tiny bee.
Buzz has a very unusual gift.
Whenever someone has a feeling, Buzz begins to glow.
Sometimes the glow is bright. Sometimes it is tiny.
The problem is...
Buzz still doesn't know which feeling has visited!
He needs a Feelings Detective.
"Will you help me?"
Prefer listening?
For Parents
Before you begin....
This week isn't about teaching your child how to control their feelings.
It is about helping them notice that feelings visit all of us.
Some feelings stay for a few seconds. Some stay for longer.
None of them are "good" or "bad" - they're simply visitors.
