Description
A FREE FEELINGS IDENTIFICATION TOOL FOR KIDS
Download our free feelings scales to help young children identify their emotions. Emotion identification is not only the first step to self-regulation, but it is also a coping skill in and of itself. Sometimes called an emotion chart, you can use this SEL intervention to turn an abstract concept into something more hands-on and concrete. For a young child who has difficulty understanding how she or he feels, talking about emotions can be overwhelming.
Many times, when a child has a hard time expressing their emotions, they communicate via unhelpful behaviors. Alternatively, using a feelings scale is a more helpful way communicate emotions. This intervention helps young children express their feelings directly and with calmness. And as a result, it helps young children make more mindful choices about what to do next.
Our feelings scale is a great visual support tool that helps kids communicate their feelings to others. Students can use these to quietly communicate their emotions to their teacher. For instance, to let them know they need a break or additional support. Young children can also use these tools at home, to help them better communicate with their family.
