The aim of this tool is to help children identify their emotions. As their repertoire of emotions expands, the tool encourages them to think further and identify the emotion more precisely. When children feel an emotion, the adult present can present the poster and encourage them to point out the emotion they feel. The tool can also be used for preventive purposes (developing the ability to manage emotions): as a complement to writing an emotional diary, or adults can identify their own emotions and express them to the children. For example, during the evening meal, each family member can share moments from his or her day by identifying the emotion felt on the poster. This will help to normalize emotions and develop strategies to soothe them.
