THIS WEEK’S LESSON
Regulating Emotions

Today’s Excerpt:
When someone else is experiencing big emotions, what do you do?
To start the conversation about experiencing big emotions, watch “Inside Out – Riley argues with her parents” (3-min video).
Note: In this scene from Pixar’s Inside Out, 11-year-old Riley has just moved to a new home and experienced an embarrassing moment at school earlier in the day. Her access to joy is gone.
Discuss:
- How many feelings can you identify characters experiencing in the scene? You can use the Uplift emotions chart below if you’d like.
- How do you think each character could have helped in this situation?
