🧠 Why Teach Children About Emotions?
Learning to recognize and name emotions gives young children simple language they can use to communicate how they feel. It can also help them begin understanding their own feelings and the feelings of others.
Emotional learning doesn't need to feel like a lesson. Everyday conversations, stories, play and simple printable activities can all create opportunities to practise.
💗 Start With One Feeling
Choose one emotion your child already recognizes and talk about what it looks like, feels like and what might help when that feeling happens.
