Story
About
6:32
This story takes children into a joyful birthday celebration where different SRGoos experience different emotions — happiness, confusion and sadness.
Through Meera’s unexplained sadness and her friends’ attempts to help, children are introduced to the idea that emotions can change, may not always have clear reasons and can be supported through care, attention and simple actions.
The story gently builds:
• Recognition of different emotions (happy, sad, confused)
• Awareness that feelings can change
• Empathy towards others’ emotions
• Understanding that small actions can help someone feel better
Rather than explaining emotions directly, the story allows children to observe, experience and respond to feelings, reinforcing the idea:
“When one friend is sad, true friends help them feel better.”
Aligned with NEP CG04, this story supports children in moving from awareness → empathy → response, laying the foundation for emotional intelligence.
Song
2:46
This is a gentle, engaging song that helps young children recognize, express and manage their emotions in healthy ways. Through simple actions like clapping when happy, rubbing their eyes when sad, stomping when angry or seeking comfort when scared, children learn to connect physical responses with their feelings
The song also introduces early self-regulation skills—such as deep breathing, counting slowly, and thinking of happy moments—to help children calm themselves. By showing that emotions can change and come and go, it encourages emotional awareness and resilience.
Overall, 'My Feelings' supports social-emotional development by helping preschoolers understand their feelings and build confidence in managing them
Our recommendation:
Teach the Story & Song across 5 Structured Sessions (at a minimum)
Each Session = 1 Panchadi Phase
(children love repetition and they learn best through it)
Panchadi - 5 Phase Plan
Phase 1
