Emotion Detective

Parent and child look at pictures of people expressing different emotions, discussing what each person might be feeling and why. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child identifies emotions, connects facial expressions to feelings, and shares personal emotional experiences — building emotional intelligence and empathy.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Parent and child sitting comfortably together with family photos, a picture book, a mirror, or the parent's own face showing clear emotional expressions. Choose happy, sad, angry, or surprised expressions.

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
