Naming emotions can be challenging, especially for young clients who are not used to expressing themselves. Factors such as past experiences or limited emotional awareness can make recognizing emotions difficult. With the right support, however, they can develop this essential skill.
The How Are You Feeling Today Wall Art provides a simple way for kids and teens to communicate their feelings. It uses a 1–5 scale to help them reflect on whether they feel great or need support.
Hanging this wall art in a shared space promotes emotional awareness and makes it easier for kids and teens to share their emotions openly. It can also be placed in a calming area, such as a calm down corner or counseling office, to encourage more thoughtful expression.
Caring adults can complement this wall art with a feelings check-in worksheet, or feelings charts.
