I know this because I’ve been wearing a nametag 24/7 for 3,237 consecutive days. And strangers break the ice with me every day because of it. Some say hi, some introduce themselves, and some stop me in the middle of the aisle at Wal-Mart and ask me if I can tell them where to find the lime-green thongs they saw on sale in this week’s ad.We hope that the printable feelings charts we shared above can help you and your children learn the different emotions.

While the terms are frequently used interchangeably and certainly are related, feelings and emotions are not the same things.Focus on finding a solution. Anger is often difficult to deal with because it makes you feel helpless. Working to solve the problem that’s causing your anger can help relieve this frustration. You may not be able to fix every situation that makes you angry, but you can usually bring about some improvement. Ask other people involved what they think and work together. You can also try asking your loved ones for their input. Different perspectives can help you consider solutions you may not have seen yourself. And if you can’t accurately or comfortably describe them, how are you supposed to manage your feelings? Once you start accepting your emotions and understand them rather than suppressing your emotions you will be able to see yourself and what is your true wish or dreams. Here’s why: Curiosity is a natural motivator of human engagement. And there’s a certain sociological dissonance when people observe an unexpected or unexplained behavior. Especially when it’s inconsistent with their environment. (Like some random guy wearing a nametag.) Feelings can be difficult to understand. Even adults can have a hard time distinguishing between them, especially when they overlap. This is why we need to put effort into teaching our children the value of recognizing and identifying their emotions and thoughts.
