Feelings don't just happen in our heads; we feel them in our whole bodies. This lovingly designed "Feelings Check-In" worksheet helps children (ages 6–12) make exactly that connection. It is a gentle tool to make emotions tangible instead of suppressing them – turning "I don't know" into a clear understanding of their own inner life.
Where to Use the Feelings Check-In
- At Home: Ideal as an evening ritual to reflect on the day together and settle down.
- At School: A valuable resource for the "quiet corner" when a child needs a break to regroup.
- In Therapy: A structured tool to start the session or to work on body awareness.
Key Features
- Naming Feelings: A selection of 12 emotions helps children expand their emotional vocabulary and pinpoint exactly what is going on.
- Body Awareness (Body Scan): A special section helps children recognize where in the body they feel emotions (e.g., "I feel it in my tummy" or "in my shoulders").
- Creative Visualization: Unique questions about the texture of the feeling ("If I could touch it, would it be cold/soft?") help process abstract emotions.
- Coping Strategies: Offers child-friendly immediate aids for self-regulation, such as "breathe deeply," "listen to music," or "walk in nature."
Format & Usage Tip
- Full Color: Engaging design ready for immediate use.
- Black & White: A printer-friendly version – ideal for saving ink.
