The basic premise that children must learn about emotions is that all feelings are okay to have; however, only some reactions are okay.

Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.

Teachers need to be comfortable talking about feelings.

When you're growing up, you want to feel part of something.

For young boys, just to know you exist in any capacity is a strong feeling.

As a child I was not allowed to express my feelings, so I had to go back through therapy and express the child's pain.

I'm not a parent yet, but I feel like a kid needs to be loved.

A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.

When you're young, you don't have much sense. You don't have any reasoning power. You don't have any ability to take a blow, an insult, a hurt in the right way. There is no way a child can do that. All a child can do is feel the pang of it, the heartache of it.
