The aim of this tool is to help toddlers identify their emotions. As they only know the basic emotions for their age, only these are shown. When a child feels an emotion, the adult present can present the poster and encourage the child to point out the emotion felt. The tool can also be used for prevention (developing the skill of managing emotions): adults can do the same by identifying their own emotions and expressing them to the children. For example, during the evening meal, each member of the family can share moments from their day by identifying the emotion they felt on the poster. This will help to normalize emotions and develop strategies to soothe them.
