PRODUCT SUMMARY
How are you feeling? Excited, scared, angry, embarrassed or just plain confused -- it's normal to have many different feelings in a day. Sometimes even at the same time! Dealing With Feelings explores how the way you feel about yourself, your friends, your family and your school affects your whole life! Students gain practical tips for communicating care and respect in relationships with friends and family as well as dealing with everyday worries, grief, fear and big life changes. The importance of self-esteem is highlighted in this thoughtful program. After all, knowing as much as you can about yourself -- and feeling good about what you see -- can make dealing with ALL of your emotions a lot easier. Part of the multivolume Health for Children Video Series.
A teacher's guide is included and available online.

K-Gr 4-Each program focuses on a different area of wellness, and points out how good choices can lead to good habits. The multiethnic cast uses vignettes, discussion, and example to show ways in which viewers can promote their own health and well-being. In Safety Awareness, basic safety rules are covered for fire safety, poisons, electricity, being home alone, and transportation. A fashion show features safe sports attire. Viewers are also given information on when it is appropriate to call 911. Personal Health and Hygiene discusses physical fitness (including warm-ups and cool-downs), and general health issues-cleanliness; tooth, eye, and ear care; sleep; nutrition; and the importance of using sunscreen. Decisions and Conflicts outlines the decision-making process and teaches conflict-resolution. It discusses peer pressure (both positive and negative), and gives information on dealing with bullying. In Nutrition, food groups are presented, and their role in good health is explored. Viewers are encouraged to read nutrition labels, eat healthy snacks and a good breakfast, and exercise. Food allergies and safe food-handling rules are also presented. Dealing with Feelings examines anger, fear, sadness, stress, worry, and jealousy. Youngsters are urged to share their feelings and talk things over with a trusted adult. Strong family ties are encouraged, and self-esteem is emphasized. The remaining two programs were not reviewed. Each program includes a review of all key points. The pacing is brisk, and the subject matter is important. A valuable series for health education.
