Emotion Detective

Parent and child look at pictures of people showing different emotions, discussing facial expressions and personal experiences. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child identifies emotions in others, connects 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 a mirror, parent facial expressions, family photos, or picture books with clear faces. Use 4-6 emotions (happy, sad, angry, scared, surprised, etc.). Faces should be clear. No other materials needed.

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