Let Your Feelings Flow

Let Your Feelings Flow

Our feelings flow like rivers. We can stop and watch them go by. 

Understanding your feelings doesn’t mean trying to control or change them—it means noticing them and letting them pass. Rabbit learns from Fish that everyone has unkind thoughts sometimes, especially when they are hungry, tired, or scared. Fish explains that feelings are like a flowing river: they come and go on their own. Together, they show that having the self-awareness to accept those feelings without judgment helps prevent harm and allows kindness to return naturally. 

Let Your Feelings Flow, along with the four other stories in SEL Collection 1, uses the timeless power of the fable to provide a framework for exploring feelings through listening, observing, guided discussions, and self-expression. All stories highlight all five core SEL competencies, helping children to discover how to navigate the world and grow with and in support of others. Charming animal characters invite children into the stories, letting reflection and learning flow naturally. 

For a richer, more in-depth learning experience at home or in the classroom, the Let Your Feelings Flow Instructional Package gives educators and families everything they need to turn the story experience into a transformative conversation.
