I - Messages

When you are angry or hurt it's much better to use an I-message to tell someone how you feel than a you-message that might make them angry. Just say:

I feel _________ when you ____________.

Now the person knows how you feel and you can work out the problem!

Some examples:
I feel left out when you don't play with me.
I feel angry when you take my toy without asking.
I feel excited when I go to my friend's house.
I feel sad when you yell at me.
