Understanding Feelings | Healthy Minds, Thriving Kids Pre-K | Child Mind Institute

In this educational video for toddlers and preschoolers, kids will learn how noticing and naming their feelings can help them handle difficult situations.
As you’ll learn from our hedgehog friends, emotions are important because they tell us a lot about ourselves and the world around us. They also help us connect with one another. Kids have all of the same wonderful, confusing, and big emotions that adults do. It’s important for them to know that it’s okay to feel all of them - good feelings and uncomfortable ones, too.
Learning how to notice, label, and express their feelings is an important skill for mental health that helps kids feel more in control.
Healthy Minds, Thriving Kids Pre-K is a video series for kids 3 to 5 years old based on mental health research from the Child Mind Institute.
