1. Go through the discs and have the child mimic the picture/emotion on the discs. Ask questions such as: What does being afraid look like? What does silly look like?
2. Have the child choose the disc/emotion they are currently feeling and place it in the “I feel” section.
3. Do this daily at the beginning and end of the day or even throughout the day. This will get the child used to paying attention to their emotional state and needs as well as sharing their emotional state with you.
4. Take this further and have them develop strategies they can use to help cope with their emotions
