Tips for parents

  • Ask “how do you feel?” in Spanish at a calm moment of the day, and answer it yourself too.
  • Make faces for each feeling in the song and let your child copy them in a mirror.
  • Use the words when feelings actually happen: naming a feeling is a calming skill in any language.
