Pause and check in

How are you feeling right now?

Choose a feeling with a parent, caregiver, educator, or another trusted adult.

Choose the feeling that fits best right now. Like Ollie, you can take your time—there is no wrong answer.

Your choices stay private: this activity does not save, send, or share your answer.
