Exploring Emotions Worksheet

Kids can sometimes experience difficulties at home or in school. Whatever they’re experiencing, it’s important to check how they’re feeling. An emotional check-in is an opportunity for them to pause and assess their emotions at that particular moment. Are they happy? Calm? Worried? Nervous?

Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals can download and print this Emotions Check-In worksheet to help a child name their emotions and identify the thoughts, feelings, and actions associated with their experience. This worksheet is based on the CBT triangle.
