Feeling good!

Feeling good about who you are
Kids like to feel that they are good people who try to do the right thing. They also like to be true to themselves and not feel like they have to act differently just to please others.

Other stuff
Other things that kids told us were important to feeling good were fun things to do, being able to deal with bad times, having enough money, and having nice places to live in and visit, being healthy and feeling like you can help others.

Feeling safe
Feeling safe and being safe is important to kids. Kids told us they feel safer when they’re with their parents or other trusted people. Safe places are also important.

Deciding for yourself
Kids like to have some independence, and to be able to decide some things for themselves. Kids also told us they like their parents and other people to help them make good decisions. It's also important for kids to be talked to and taken seriously when adults make decisions that affect them.
