Emotions are the way we feel inside and they can affect how we feel about ourselves, other people and how we behave. Some people are able to express their emotions in a helpful way, some people express their emotions in an unhelpful way and some people try to hide their emotions. No emotions are bad, wrong or naughty but some emotions feel more comfortable than others. It is important to share emotions with other people but that there are safe and appropriate ways of doing this.
