Check understanding
- Use at least five emotion words beyond the basic six in everyday conversation
- Explain the difference between two similar emotions such as angry and frustrated

“If your child doesn't get invited to a classmate's party, can they describe whether they feel disappointed, jealous, lonely, or a mix — rather than just saying 'sad'?”
