Download the Complete Family Feelings Wheel Collection - 6 Professional Tools to Build Your Child's Emotional Vocabulary
"How are you feeling?" "Fine." "But you seem upset..." "I don't know."
Sound familiar?
Every child experiences a rich world of emotions every single day. Joy when they master something new. Frustration when things don't go as planned. Excitement about adventures ahead. Worry about changes coming.
But most children lack the vocabulary to express what they're feeling inside. When asked "How are you feeling?" the typical response is "fine," "good," or "I don't know."
This isn't because they don't have feelings - it's because they haven't learned the words to match their inner experience.
