How do I feel?
This visual is designed to support a child to analyse behaviour and emotions and to consider
ways to regulate and manage their emotions. It could be used during times of transition when a
child/student is asked to move from a preferred interest based activity to a non-preferred activity. I.e.
being asked to move away from their special interests. Appropriate for both primary and secondary
settings.
