By Fern, Hancock Healthy Times | I can be aware of my own feelings by paying attention to myself when I am happy, sad, angry, or mad. Being aware of my own feelings helps me understand others by knowing that how they look is how I look when I am happy, sad, mad, or excited. I can show empathy when someone is hurt by asking if they are OK. I can help someone when they fall.
