When We Feel Scared 😯
Introduction
Sometimes our heart goes thump‑thump and we feel a little shiver. That feeling is called Scared. Let’s learn about it together!
What Scared Looks Like
1️⃣ Scared Is a Quick “uh‑oh!”
- A dark, stormy sky 🌩️
- A big, creaky door that creaks
- A tiny mouse that squeaks “peep‑peep”
When we hear a loud boom or see a shadow, we might say, “I’m scared, I’m scared.”
2️⃣ Scared Can Be Small or Big
- 1 tiny spider on a leaf
- 2 howling wolves far away
- 3 thunder rolls that rumble “RUM‑RUM”
We can count the scary things and see they are just sounds or pictures.
How to Calm Down
- Take a deep breath: Inhale… Exhale…
- Hug a soft teddy bear 🧸
- Talk about the “uh‑oh” feeling with a grown‑up
Repeating “I am safe, I am safe” helps the thump‑thump slow down.
Simple Activity – Brave Drawing ✏️
- Draw a circle for a face.
- Add two big eyes and a smile.

- Tell the picture, “You are brave!”
Conclusion
Feeling scared is okay. It tells our body to pay attention. When we name the feeling, count the sounds, and use our brave voice, we can explore the world with curiosity. Keep listening, keep learning, and remember—you are never alone! 🌟
