Children don’t often make the connection between what they feel and the emotions that they display. With their limited language and experience dealing with intense feelings, it makes sense that children may rely on nonverbal cues to communicate (pointing, screaming, crying, etc). One way to help children identify and express their feelings is with a feelings faces chart. This chart shows faces in different states of emotion. In tough moments, it can help children explain — and their parents understand — just how they feel when they can’t find the words.
