Sit with Your Feelings Posters for Children, Teens and Adults – Free PDF Printables

When a feeling is uncomfortable or hard to sit with, the poster offers a short sequence to follow: pause and breathe, ask “What am I feeling?”, name it, notice it in the body, and let it be. It also includes reassuring messages such as “You don’t have to like the feeling. Just notice it,” “Feelings come and go,” and “If it feels too much, talk to someone you trust.”

The printable can be displayed at home, in classrooms, counselling rooms, family support settings or social work sessions as a visual prompt for emotional regulation and self-compassion. Parents, teachers, social workers and therapists could use it to support conversations about allowing feelings, grounding through the body, and knowing when to seek support from a trusted person.

Children, young people and adults can use the poster as a simple step-by-step reminder when a feeling is uncomfortable or hard to name. It encourages them to pause and breathe, ask “What am I feeling?”, name the emotion, notice where it shows up in the body, and let it be.

The printable works well as a visual prompt at home, in counselling or social work sessions, or in school wellbeing spaces.
