Understanding ones emotions plays a fundamental part in mental and physical health. It is important we encourage children in their formative years to acknowledge, articulate and communicate their feelings without judgement, through the lens of positivity and acceptance.
This acceptance builds resilience, self awareness, empathy, self regulation, social awareness and ultimately self empowerment. It is these qualities that contribute significantly to boosted immunity, motivation, purpose and overall wellness and happiness.
By using prompts to identify rising feelings and emotions, children are able to communicate and seek reassurance, clarity and a sense of calm. Ideal for home, the classroom and early learning environments.
The set includes 30 emotion cards, a Welcome card and a HELP card along with 2 double sided instruction/activity cards. Each card has affirmations on the reverse side that children are able to self regulate emotions through positivity.

Learning to recognise and label our emotions correctly is such an important skill for life. Giving our children this language helps to build emotional literacy. It is a gift to give children the tools to know how to recognise what they truly feel and that is it okay to feel all emotions. When they know that no emotion is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and that all emotions provide messages, then it takes away any attachment to that emotion being part of who they are.
This card set can be used with children from 2 years of age up.
