Small, practical and ready to print.
Sometimes the words won't come. Pointing works. This Feelings and Needs Board is a 2-page printable PDF for children about 3 to 8, used with a grown-up.
Inside
- Page 1, My feelings and needs board: eight feelings and eight needs to point to, including 'too much', 'no touching please' and 'to move my body'. Four blank tiles for your own words and a short strip for grown-ups.
- Page 2, Pocket cards: the same pictures as cut-out cards for the bag, the car or Nana's house.
Use it on a calm day first. Point to how you feel yourself, then let your child have a go. You see it, say it and help.
Good to know: it's an everyday communication tool. It isn't therapy or a diagnosis. If big feelings keep going for a long time or worry you, talk to your doctor or your child's teacher.
Both colour styles are included: Classic (soft pastels, navy headings) and Warm (cream, charcoal and butter yellow). Use whichever suits your fridge.
Instant digital download. Nothing is shipped. Four fillable PDFs: A4 and US Letter, in both colour styles. Type in and print, or print blank and write.
Made by a dad and qualified teacher.
For use in your own home. Please don't resell or share the files publicly.
