Families Connect Programme - Steelstown Primary School Families Connect Week One The key messages this week is that feelings are important because how we feel influences how we behave and how well we learn. The learning tasks involved recognising and managing uncomfortable feelings such as uncertainty, anxiety and frustration. This session focused on helping parents work with their children, as they learn to recognise the names of feelings, and how they can best manage them in a stimulating and fun way. The feelings fan was a particular favourite as a tool to help these processes.
