Can school teach feelings like it teaches maths?

Schools in different countries now run feelings lessons — naming emotions is becoming a subject.
Family challenge: each person names the exact feeling they had at lunch today. Not 'fine' — the real word.
No repeats. Hardest name wins.

Feelings have names — and names are learnable

Researchers found kids with a bigger feelings vocabulary calm down faster — the word gives the brain a handle.

'Fine' is not a feeling. 'Left out at lunch' is. The sharper the word, the smaller the storm.

Today's 1%: At tomorrow's dinner, everyone brings one exact feeling word from their day.
