ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English How to Identify FEAR ???? RECOGNIZING EMOTIONS for Kids ???? Episode 2
Hello there! How are you feeling today? Sometimes, answering that question can be tricky. Let me tell you a story. Last night, I was at home with my little brother when suddenly the lights went out. Everything became dark, and I started hearing strange noises. My heart was beating fast, my breathing was quick, and my muscles felt tight. I even got goosebumps, and my hands were sweaty. It was a really scary feeling. Has anything like that ever happened to you?
If we don’t understand our emotions, we might feel confused or uncomfortable because we don’t know how to react. The feelings in our bodies can give us clues about our emotions and help us understand what others might be feeling too. Today, let’s talk about one of the basic emotions: fear. Fear is a natural response to something that might hurt us or something that seems dangerous, even if it’s just in our imagination.
Fear can make our bodies react in certain ways. It’s important to know that even though fear feels unpleasant, it helps us stay safe. It makes us cautious in dangerous situations and helps us react quickly, whether by hiding, facing the threat, or running away.
Have you ever noticed how fear affects your body? When you’re scared, your heart might beat faster, your muscles might tense up, and your breathing might become quick and short, as if you’re getting ready to run. Your hands might get sweaty, and you might get goosebumps. Your face can also show fear; you might open your eyes wide, raise your eyebrows, or open your mouth to take in more air.
People around you can sense your fear, which can affect how they feel and interact with you. While fear can help protect us, we can also learn to manage it so it doesn’t stop us from doing things. For example, when you’re scared, try taking deep, slow breaths until your body relaxes. Often, you’ll find that what you’re scared of isn’t as scary as you thought.
Here’s a secret: everyone gets scared sometimes, even adults! So don’t worry if you need to ask someone for help. Sometimes, just having someone listen and support you can make you feel better.
Remember the story I told you about the lights going out and the strange noises? I was really scared, but I took a deep breath. Once I calmed down a bit, I decided to look for a flashlight. When I turned it on, I realized the noises were just my little brother playing on the couch. I wasn’t scared anymore and could think clearly. I realized it was all in my imagination, and I relaxed completely. I even laughed about it!
Learning to recognize the feelings that emotions create in our bodies is very helpful. This way, we can understand our emotions better and express them to others.

Emotion Detective: Become an emotion detective! Spend a day observing people around you, like your family or friends. Can you spot when someone might be feeling scared? Look for clues like wide eyes, raised eyebrows, or quick breathing. Draw a picture of what you see and write a sentence about what might be causing their fear. Remember, it’s okay to ask them how they’re feeling too!
Fear Journal: Start a “Fear Journal” where you can write or draw about times when you felt scared. What happened? How did your body feel? Did your heart beat fast, or did you get goosebumps? Write down what you did to feel better. Share your journal with a family member and talk about how you both manage fear.
Fear Freeze Game: Play a game with your friends or family called “Fear Freeze.” One person acts out a situation that might be scary (like a thunderstorm or a big dog barking), and everyone else has to freeze in a pose that shows how they would feel. After each round, talk about what you can do to feel less scared, like taking deep breaths or thinking of something happy.

Hi, how are you? Today, I’m sure answering this question isn’t always easy. Last night, I was at home with my little brother when suddenly the power went out. Everything went dark, and I started to hear strange noises all around me. My heart was beating fast, my breathing was quick and short, and my muscles tensed. I got goosebumps, and my palms were sweating. It was a very scary feeling. Has this ever happened to you?
If we don’t understand our emotions, we can feel frustrated, confused, or uncomfortable because we don’t know how to react. The sensations we feel in our bodies can give us clues about our emotions and help us identify what others are feeling. Today, we’re going to focus on one of the basic emotions: fear. It’s a natural response to something that can hurt us or something real or imaginary that seems dangerous.
Fear is an uncomfortable feeling that makes our bodies react in certain ways. It’s important to remember that although fear is unpleasant, it is necessary. It helps us be cautious in dangerous situations and react quickly, whether by hiding, facing the threat, or running away.
Now that you know what fear is, have you ever thought about how it affects your body? When you get scared, you might feel your heart beating faster, your muscles tense up, and your breathing becomes short and fast, as if you’re preparing to run away. Your hands may get sweaty, and you might get goosebumps. Your face can also show how you feel; if you’re scared, you might open your eyes wide, pay attention to your surroundings, raise your eyebrows, or even open your mouth to take in more air.
People around you can sense your fear, which can affect their emotions and how they interact with you. While fear can be useful in helping us defend ourselves, we can also learn to manage it so it doesn’t hold us back. For example, when you’re scared, you can try taking deep, slow breaths until your body relaxes. Most of the time, you’ll find that what you’re scared of isn’t as big of a deal as you thought.
Want to hear a secret? Everyone gets scared from time to time, even adults! So don’t worry if you need to ask someone for help. Sometimes, just having someone listen and support you is enough to make you feel better.

I wasn’t scared anymore and was able to think clearly. I realized it was all in my imagination, and I relaxed completely. I even laughed about it!
