Common Questions About Emotions Resources for Kids

What are emotions resources for children?
Emotions resources are cards, charts, games, books or activities designed to help children explore feelings, emotional vocabulary and everyday situations.
How can I help a child name their feelings?
Visual resources such as feelings cards and emotion charts can give children words and pictures to choose from. Adults can use them as conversation prompts and allow the child time to describe their own experience.
What are social skills games?
Social skills games use scenarios, questions or gameplay to explore areas such as friendship, communication, relationships, cooperation and conflict.
Do you have resources about anger and frustration?
Yes. Some resources explore situations involving anger or frustration and introduce different responses that children and adults can discuss together.
Do you have conflict-resolution activities for children?
Yes. The range includes games that explore common conflicts, emotional triggers and different approaches to resolving disagreements.
Are emotions resources the same as sensory toys?
Not necessarily. An emotions resource primarily focuses on recognising, discussing or responding to feelings and social situations. Sensory toys primarily provide tactile, visual or other sensory experiences. Some children may use resources from both collections.
Can these resources be used at school?
Many emotion cards, games and discussion resources can be used in education settings. Check the individual product's recommended age, instructions and intended use.
