scary/ anxious; if there is someone new at my school, I can ask them to sit with me so they don't feel so alone.
When Elli is upset, how can you tell what they might need to feel better?
She is angry and she needs a hug to calm down
How do you feel when someone smiles at you or says hello?
Nice / welcome; I can smile at people to let them know I am nice and they are welcome.

angry; I don't like being laughed at so I shouldn't laugh at others if they make a mistake
How can we be more mindful of other people's feelings in our everyday actions and words?
I can think about how my own words might feel if someone said them to me - before I say them out loud. This will help me to treat other people like I want to be treated.

Ask the family member if I can help them with tasks that need to get done. Give them a hug; tell them they are appreciated.
What would you say to a friend who is scared of something, like going to the dentist?
say: I know going to the dentist can be scary, I get scared sometimes too. Taking care of yourself is important and so we sometimes have to do things that are scary in order to take care of ourselves properly. Going to the dentist might seem scary, but it will be okay.
How can you help someone who is struggling with their schoolwork?
ask them if they need help / encourage them to keep trying
How do you think Elli feels when you play with her? How do you think she feels when you don't play with her?
