How do you feel?
A few years ago Riley and I were on holiday in Perth. Riley had drawn up a feeling chart and on the train on the way to visit a friend he started asking passengers to fill in the chart for him. The responses that he got were all very positive, there was only one passenger who wasn’t feeling happy and by the time that Riley had finished talking to her I think he had managed to cheer her up quite a bit.
I thought it was a sweet thing to do but to be honest I didn’t give it much more thought. I was used to Riley interacting with strangers he has done it his whole life. He will open doors for them, perform magic rubber band tricks, whistle, dance, hop on one leg, ask them riddles and ask questions like “Our washing machine has a favourites setting does yours?” My husband often shakes his head and wonders how we ended up with such and extroverted child.
Recently I saw a YouTube video by The Liberators International and I was reminded of Riley’s experiment on the train. I asked him if he would like to make another chart and ask people how they were feeling again only this time I would film it and we would make a movie and post it on YouTube. Of course he was very keen. This is what we have so far...
