1. How do you see yourself? Are your actions, behaviours, and words similar to the characters and/or people that you saw in the attached pictures, storybook(s) and/or video(s)?

2. Would you change how you usually act or behave, or what you usually say when you approach someone who looks sad, hurt or upset?

3. What actions, words or behaviours should someone demonstrate to help someone who is sad, hurt or upset? Is it okay to try and make some feel better by offering kind words or comfort? Is it okay to get help from an adult for someone else instead of helping them yourself? Should you stay away from someone such as a good friend, if they seem sad, hurt or upset? Is it okay to laugh at someone or tease someone who gets hurt or who is upset or even sad? There are lots of videos shown on TV and YouTube where people get hurt and we are supposed to find it funny, is that okay?
