We created this ‘Why is Teddy sad?’ pack in order for you to be able to explore with children how sometimes something may feel wrong inside when there are no obvious cuts, bruises, etc.

As well as investigating the feeling of ‘sadness’ by talking about what might cause us to feel sad and what it actually feels like, this pack could also be a doorway to talking about mental health. It also aids in the mindfulness practice of recognising emotions.

Keywords: feeling, feelings, emotions, emotion/emotional regulation/dysregulation/self-regulation, autism, autistic, mental health, wellness, colouring page/pages/sheet/sheets, empathy, role play, role-play, mindfulness
