Feelings Weather Station

How it works

1. 1

   Let's start by talking about different feelings. Ask your child: 'What's a happy feeling like? Is it sunny, rainy, or something else?'

2. 2

   Now let's talk about frustrated or angry feelings. Ask: 'What weather might feel like when we're frustrated? Maybe stormy or windy?'

3. 3

   Let's create our Feelings Weather Station! Help your child draw or create weather symbols for different emotions. Suggest: 'Let's make a sunny face for happy and storm clouds for frustrated.'

4. 4

   Now let's practice using our weather station. Ask: 'If you felt disappointed about not getting a cookie, what weather would you be? And what helps that weather change?'
