Strengthening relationships and talking about feelings: join us at our next family event in Peterborough

What we've been up to

At these events, we brought along some activities all about feelings. We had craft sessions where children and adults got to talk about their emotions. Plus a fun matching game with pictures of faces showing different feelings. It was amazing to see how many emotions the children could recognise. We also got to hear them share what makes them feel happy, sad, and even a bit grumpy.

We chatted with parents about how important it is to talk about feelings with young children. We discussed how naming and understanding feelings helps children make sense of what’s happening in their heads and bodies. We even shared tips on what children can do when they feel sad, angry, or worried, like asking for a hug or talking to someone they trust.
