Help kids name, feel, and work through big emotions, with 30 print-and-go posters trusted by thousands of teachers, counselors, and parents.

Every child has big feelings. The hard part is helping them name those feelings, understand them, and calm their body when a feeling gets too big.

Some kids only have two words for it: happy and sad. So when a big feeling hits, they melt down, shut down, or go quiet, because they don't have the words yet.

These 30 posters give kids the words. With one quick look, a child can point to how they feel, see what their body is doing, and choose a calm next step. No talking required.

Whether you're a teacher, counselor, therapist, or parent, you get one shared, shame-free way to talk about feelings at school, in session, and at home.

"I work in therapy with children ages 3 to 19 who have experienced trauma, some diagnosed with autism. The positive changes in their behavior are a testament to the effectiveness of these resources. I highly recommend them to other professionals because of the results I'm getting."

How It Works

1. Print and post. Print the posters you need, full size for the wall or smaller for a binder. Laminate the ones you will reuse.
2. Check in. Have your child or student point to a face, color, or number. No explaining required.
3. Notice the body. Match the feeling to what their body is doing, using the thermometer, volcano, or body posters.
4. Choose a calm next step. Pick one coping skill together and practice it. Add more posters as the first ones become familiar.

★★★★★

"This is a great tool to use for students who only label their emotions as happy or sad. This teaches them that we may not always feel happy or sad, and it might be something else that we feel."
