1 This feeling is your brain noticing danger signs, sometimes before you can say what they are. 2 When you get it, move away, say «no» if you need to, and tell a trusted adult — even if it turns out to be nothing. 3 It is okay to say no to any adult, even one you know, if what they ask makes you feel unsafe; being safe matters more than being polite. 4 A surprise, like a birthday present, is happy and will soon be shared; a secret that makes you feel worried or uncomfortable should always be told to a trusted adult. 5 Example: in a park in Phoenix, a girl feels uh-oh when a man she does not know keeps asking her to help find his puppy; she says no, walks to her mum and tells her. 6 A girl in Ohio felt uneasy when an older boy kept asking her to come to an empty place; she ignored the feeling and went, got frightened, and ran back. 7 Next time she listened to the feeling first. 9 Fear makes the heart beat faster, breathing quicken and muscles get ready to move. 10 The uh-oh feeling can come before you understand what is wrong. 11 Trusting your uh-oh feeling and moving away is never wrong, even if it was nothing. 12 You can say no to anyone, even an adult you know, if something feels unsafe. 13 Adults who need help usually ask other adults, not children. 14 A secret that makes you feel bad or worried should be told to a trusted adult. 15 A surprise is something nice that everyone will find out about soon. 16 Telling a trusted adult about something that worried you is always the right thing to do. 17 Trusted adults are people like parents, carers, teachers and school counsellors. 18 If the first adult you tell does not help, keep telling other trusted adults until someone does. 19 New but safe things, like a first swimming lesson, can also bring a nervous feeling; talking about it helps you tell the difference. 20 People who ignore their uh-oh feeling sometimes walk into danger they could have avoided. 21 You never need a reason to say no and leave when something feels wrong. 22 When people say two adults are "seeing" each other, they mean the two are a couple, going out together; that is their own private business. 23 When a couple are "splitting up", they are ending their time together; parents who split up may divorce, which means ending their marriage. 24 "You and Sophie sitting in a tree" is a teasing playground rhyme that says two children are a couple; you can ask the teaser to stop and tell an adult if it goes on. 25 Worried feelings about news at home are normal, and talking to a trusted adult about them helps. ← previous Remembering detailsnext → Thinking about noticing↑ back to Everyday This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/19-uh-oh-feeling/
