Description
Emotions help you make sense of the world, relate to others, make decisions, and solve problems. These Emotions! cards help kids develop their emotional vocabulary, identify which emotions they’re feeling, and learn how to trust and work with their emotions.
Research has shown that simply developing a larger emotional vocabulary can help us develop better emotion regulation skills – all by itself!
These Emotions! cards go a step further and help kids learn why their emotions exist, which gifts and skills they contain, and how to work directly with all of them.
ALL of our emotions are important and meaningful. There’s no such thing as a negative emotion, and there’s no such thing as a positive emotion. All emotions are necessary, and these cards help kids befriend their emotions, learn how their emotions help them, and learn new ways to work with each emotion’s specific genius.
The Emotions! card types
The 4 Emotion Families cards: Kids can start with the color-coded emotion families cards (Purple Anger, Green Fear, Blue Sadness, and Raspberry Happiness) to home in on which emotions they’re feeling, and then go to:
The Emotion Words cards: These cards help kids find their emotion and dial into the exact intensity they’re feeling. A note at the bottom of these cards helps kids know what each emotion does for them, and then:
The Emotion Questions cards: On the back of each Emotion Words card, kids can learn good questions to help them support their emotions, and a list of the gifts their emotions bring to them.
The Playing With cards: These cards help kids try out emotions in playful ways so that they can gain skills and awareness for times when their emotions need their attention.
These Emotions! cards are printed in the U.S. on recycled paper with soy-based inks.
