### In the lessons

In everyday life and feelings lessons: all feelings are OK, but some actions are not; name your feeling, breathe, and talk to a trusted adult. In safety: a bad or "uh-oh" feeling can warn you that something is wrong — listen to it. In stories, feelings show what characters care about. Phrases: hurt someone's feelings, gut feeling, mixed feelings, no hard feelings, a funny feeling.
