The poster supports emotional awareness, social skills and positive behaviour. It is ideal for work linked to emotional literacy, wellbeing and mental health in both early years and youth settings. It can help children and teens who struggle with big feelings, anxiety, low confidence or communication difficulties, and is also helpful for those with ASD who benefit from visual support.
Parents, carers, teachers, social workers, foster carers, therapists, counsellors and other professionals can use this resource during direct work, classroom activities or everyday conversations at home. It works well as a wall display, feelings chart or visual prompt during sessions.
This downloadable PDF encourages children and young people to build emotional vocabulary, share their inner experiences and develop stronger emotional wellbeing. It is a practical resource for anyone supporting children who need help understanding feelings and managing behaviour.
