Who this kids feelings journal is for
This journal helps children name and manage big feelings. It suits children who have frequent meltdowns, worries or shyness, as well as any child learning emotional skills at home or in school. Many children feel feelings strongly but don't yet have the words to explain them, which can lead to tears or tantrums. Learning to name a feeling, notice it in the body and choose a calming tool is a skill that lasts for life, and parents, teachers and counselors can use these pages together with a child.
How to use your kids feelings journal
Learn feelings words, check in daily and weekly, try calm-down ideas, use the worry box, write a happy list, name helpers and record brave moments. Read the feelings words page together and talk about times your child felt each one. Use the daily check-in to point to or color today's feeling, and the weekly page to look back. Try ideas from the calm-down page, such as deep breaths or a cozy corner, and mark favorites. Write or draw worries for the worry box and talk about them. Build a happy list, name trusted helpers and celebrate brave moments.
