Kendra is afraid of getting lost on her upcoming class trip. She is worried that she will get lost, lose her backpack or have to sit alone on the bus. Kendra's mom tells her a good way to deal with her fear is to think instead about the good things that will happen on the trip.
Chelsea and Bobby are at the supply closet getting pencils for their teachers. Bobby takes the last three boxes, leaving none for Chelsea. Chelsea is angry and her teacher advises Chelsea to cool down and then talk to Bobby. Talking about your feelings, the host says, is often the best thing to do.
