Product Information

While the terms are frequently used interchangeably and certainly are related, feelings and emotions are not the same things. If you are interested in further exploring emotions with your kids, you might enjoy playing this Emotions Board Game, using these Emotion Fans or exploring these classroom mental health activities and simple printable emotion cards. If you are, however, looking for words and picture association these Communication Cards - Food can come in really handy! Where can I find more resources like this? Develop coping skills for trying emotions by focusing on what you can control and finding healthy ways to express your feelings. Encourage children to talk about how they feel each day with this lovely How Are You Feeling Today? Poster that asks them how they feel and gives them several examples of adorable characters representing various emotions.

Emotions can be hard for children to understand or distinguish between, but the colourful characters on this display poster can serve as a visual aid for your child. They can look at the How Are You Feeling Today? Poster, see which character looks the most like how they feel at the moment, and use that information to explain their feelings. Moreover, you often end up beating yourself up for not knowing what to do and how to react whenever you become emotional. You know that something needs to be done, but you can’t pinpoint what it is because you can’t understand your own feelings.

That noise can be difficult to drown out, so don’t feel bad if this is something you’re struggling with. “We live in a nation in which many of us are accustomed to engaging in activities centered around thriving,” says Rodriguez. “Unfortunately, much of that focus must be shifted to surviving right now. Be kind to yourself as we shift and refuse to be guilty for not being productive.” 14. You’re in over your head with your kids. With everything going on, it might alarm you to wake up one day and realize you feel…nothing at all. That’s to be expected too. Even in the most chaotic of times, it’s impossible to be on emotional high alert 24/7. “I think of it in terms of adrenaline,” says Howes. “You can only have adrenaline coursing through your veins for so long until the body has to reset and simmer down.” Same goes for emotions, especially the longer this goes on. 17. You’re feeling something else entirely.

The “Feelings Faces: How Do You Feel Today?” poster is an engaging and versatile resource designed to support 1:1 direct work with children and young people. This poster showcases a wide range of over 60 faces depicting diverse emotions, providing a valuable visual tool for exploring and expressing feelings. Although seemingly simple, feelings charts are excellent tools that allow you to sort through your feelings and emotions. They are helpful at all ages and can be used in many different ways. The uncertainty of the pandemic—and the long-term impact it will have on both a personal level and a larger scale—is one of the most common themes the therapists I talked to have come across in their work. That should come as no surprise to anyone going through a ton of anxiety right now; there is just so much we can’t predict.

Beauty lies in their personality which is more important than outer appearance. And the ones who didn’t understand or agree with others opinion.. questioned, as they were open to understanding the contrary argument. Consider other emotions not included in the book and come up with ideas of what you could do when you felt those. e.g. lonely, disappointed, grateful. Consider anything you have been jealous or envious about. Talk about this and be curious about why you felt this. Does it highlight something you want to try and improve or try or need to think differently about?
