Everybody needs hope. Hope is believing that things
will work out. Hope is believing that things will
get better. Everybody needs hope.
HOPE
Feelings are a part of being a person. Everybody has
feelings...There aren’t right or wrong feelings. The
important thing is what you do with your feelings.
Kids have many different feelings everyday.
Happiness
Happiness is like a bright sunny day. Some kids smile when
they are happy. Some kids giggle when they are happy.
Some kids even cry when they are happy.
Sadness
Sadness is like a big, dark, rain cloud. Some
kids cry when they are sad. Some kids hide
like a turtle in their shell when they are
sad. Some kids look mad when inside
they are really, really sad.
Anger
Anger is like a volcano ready to erupt. Some kids
scream when they are mad. Some kids slam a door
or toss things around when they are mad. Some
kids cry when they are mad.
Scared
Scared is like a little mouse in a house full of big cats with no
where to go. Some kids hide when they are scared. Some kids
are scared of people, places, and things. Some kids try to act
big and strong when inside they are very scared.
Worried
Worry is like a person with too many thoughts in their
head. Some kids think they same thought over and over
when they are worried. Some kids feel their worry in their
tummy. Some kids feel worry in other parts of their bodies,
even in their head. Some kids try to make their worry go
away by doing things over and over again like washing their
hands or checking to make sure doors are locked.

Silly
Silly is like a big bouncy ball that bounces all over the
place. Some kids laugh at everything when they are
being silly. Some kids are like a bouncy ball bumping into
everybody when they are being silly.
Frustrated
Frustrated is like trying to open a locked door without a key.
You really want to get that door open but you just can’t
seem to figure out how to do it! Some kids give up when
they are frustrated. Some kids get mad when they are
frustrated. Some kids act like they don’t even care when
they are frustrated.
As you can see, feelings happen every day to every kid. The
most important thing to know is what to do with your feelings.
Some kids talk to their family and friends about their feelings.
Some kids talk to people at their school or in an office whose
job is to listen to kids talk about their feelings. Those people
are called counselors. I hope as you read this book, you realize
you are not alone. There are kids everywhere who have feelings
just like you. Remember.... Everybody needs hope.

Enojo
El enojo se siente como se siente un volcan listo para
explotar. Algunos ninos gritan cuando se sienten enojados.
Algunos ninos tiran de las puertas o tiran cosas alrededor
cuando se sienten enojados. Algunos ninos lloran cuando
se sienten enojados.
Miedo
El miedo se siente como se siente un raton en una casa
llena de gatos grandes y sin salida. Algunos ninos se esconden
cuando sienten miedo. Algunos ninos sienten miedo de la
gente, lugares y cosas. Algunos ninos pretenden ser grandes
y fuertes cuando en realidad por dentro sienten mucho miedo.
Preocupacion
La preocupacion se siente como se siente una persona con
muchos pensamientos en su cabeza. Algunos ninos repasan
el mismo pensamiento una y otra vez cuando se sienten
preocupados. Algunos ninos sienten su preocupacion en el
estomago. Algunos ninos sienten su preocupacion en otras
partes del cuerpo, incluyendo sus cabezas. Algunos ninos
tratan de hacer desaparecer su preocupacion haciendo algo
una y otra y otra vez, como lavarse las manos o
comprobar que las puertas esten cerradas con llave.

Frustracion
La frustracion se siente como se siente alguien que trata
de abrir una puerta bajo llave sin tener una llave. Realmente
quieren abrir la puerta pero simplemente no pueden averiguar
como hacerlo! Algunos ninos se dan por vencido cuando se
sienten frustrados. Algunos ninos se enojan cuando se sienten
frustrados. Algunos ninos cuando se sienten frustrados
actuan como si nada les importara.
!
Como puedes ver, cada dia todos los ninos experimentan
sentimientos. Lo importante es saber que hacer con tus
sentimientos. Algunos ninos platican con sus familiares y amigos
acerca de sus sentimientos. Algunos ninos platican con las
personas adultas de su escuela o de oficinas que se especializan
en escuchar a los ninos acerca de sus sentimientos. A tales
personas se les llama asesores (“counselors” en ingles).
Espero que cuando leas este libro, te des cuenta que no estas
solo. Por todas partes hay ninos que se sienten igual que tu.
Recuerda... todo el mundo necesita tener esperanza.
