This is the fourth episode in a series of shorts produced by Films4Change around a young girl called Ness who learns to identify and manage her feelings through her conversations with various Australian animals.
Today Ness talks to wombat, beautifully voiced and characterised by actor Leofric Kingsford-Smith, about her feelings around having to clean her room and her mum calling her cranky and lazy.
Mel and I again discuss the importance of acknowledging and affirming a child's feelings as well as talking around how adults labelling and name-calling children (i.e cranky/lazy etc) can be counter-productive as well as being genuinely hurtful.
This scene ends in such a lovely way too - with Ness giving wombat her own advice about how to clean his burrow :) Tasks can be so much easier when we tackle them with joyfulness rather than resentment !
