Kids more than any other age group can embrace change and adjust easliy with proper support and perspective. Core memories, as they are called in the movie, are the foundation for which people frame their experiences. Imagine how you’d view life differently if you didn’t have memories that make you who you are. Her emotions (from left to right) Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Disgust (voiced by Mindy Kaling), Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Fear (voiced by Bill Hader) and Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith) work together to establish Riley’s personality and memories throughout the film. Memories are central to the development of self.

Expecting children to be happy all the time just makes them want to run away literally. Therefore negative emotions can bring people closer. When Riley lost her hockey game and her team sought her out to comfort her, she associated joy with losing, not sadness and shame, because she had support from loved ones. The movie nicely depicts the self as being comprised of a variety of events, experiences, relationships, and places that are colored by the emotions that are associated with them. The self is made up of several components.What also happens is that the child can feel disapproved of and alone without help of an adult to process difficult and painful feelings. And besides, when parents say "don’t feel such and such," it’s too late anyway because the child already feels that way. Just get over it or pretend it’s not there." Yet that doesn’t make the feelings disappear it only makes them bigger and more problematic. Many times parents tell children, “Don’t feel angry or disappointed or even sad.” By doing this, they are basically saying, "You know that 'down' part of you? It’s not important. That always backfires, because kids need transition time just like adults and parents. Both parents expected her to adjust to school and new sports as if it were just another day in her life. Riley’s parents moved, and although her mother was sensitive at times, how Riley was feeling wasn't a priority and it should have been. In other words, don’t act like Riley’s parents.
