Sharing My Feelings Social Story

This social story helps children learn that it’s okay to have big feelings—like anger, sadness, or frustration—and that they don’t have to handle them alone.

Using gentle language and reassuring examples, the story encourages kids to talk to a trusted adult when their emotions feel overwhelming. Whether it’s a parent, teacher, or caregiver, asking for help is shown as a strong and positive step.

This story supports emotional awareness, builds trust in adult support, and helps children feel safe expressing how they feel. It promotes emotional well-being, healthy communication, and self-regulation in a calm and relatable way.

What’s Included?

·       A 18-page social story

·       A shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to support engagement and interaction

Why Use This Social Story?

Social stories use gentle, clear language to explain situations, social skills, and expectations in a way children can easily understand. They are especially useful for children who experience anxiety, are on the autism spectrum, or feel more secure when they know what to expect.
