Emotions jar

Children today will often be used to emotions charts. We can’t have charts lying around everywhere, so how else can we use such a tool and have some fun with it. Why not a jar with emoticons? It can be kept in the kitchen, dining room, lounge room and used whenever you or your children wish too.

Children often struggle with explaining their feelings, and therefore act out inappropriately. All people who have experienced significant trauma may also struggle to identify, name or explain their feelings. There are a lot of ways you can use such a tool to help mention and manage emotions. This is also and Arts & Crafts exercise and so there is a link on that Arts & Crafts page.
