Is your child struggling to put words to big feelings — or acting them out before you can even ask what’s wrong? This bundle of 18 illustrated worksheets was created to give children the tools to understand what’s happening inside them, and to give the adults around them something real to work with.
 
Each worksheet uses visual metaphor and guided prompts to build emotional literacy: the ability to notice, name, and begin to manage feelings. Whether a child is navigating anger, worry, stress, or low mood, there is a resource in this bundle to meet them where they are. The activities draw on emotion-focused and cognitive-behavioural approaches — including body awareness, identifying triggers, cognitive reframing, and coping strategy building — presented in child-friendly language and illustration.
