If you look closely at Riley’s parents’ emotion control boards, her mom’s board is controlled by Sadness and her dad’s is controlled by Anger.

Joy begins to show difficulty controlling the board when Riley moves. Have you ever gone through a big transition like Riley? (Even just transitioning from elementary to middle school). Riley and her family go through a lot of changes when they move from Minnesota to San Francisco. Riley’s Big Move (6 minutes and 59 seconds) What do the core memories have to do with Riley’s personality? How are the glowing balls, or “core memories” made? What is one of your “core memories”?
