What Are Emotions?

Emotions are feelings that we get in different situations. Sometimes, we feel happy, sad, angry, or scared. Emotions are normal and part of being human. It’s how we understand what is happening around us and how we respond to it.

Types of Emotions

• Happy: When something nice happens, like playing with friends or getting a good grade!
• Sad: We might feel this way when we lose something or someone we care about.
• Angry: This can happen if someone is mean to us, or if things don’t go the way we want.
• Scared: Like when we watch a scary movie or think about something bad happening.
