DIY - Identifying your emotions

Expressing yourself helps your child to develop fully

 

Emotional development allows children to understand and express their emotions

Let's help our children to put their finger on their emotions, their moods, in this very strange period for their age.

As a mother, I have noticed that this little game is also interesting to practice when we feel our child is disturbed. Helping him to understand himself will allow him to better manage his emotions and also to better understand the other.  

Workshops in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade often revolve around this type of exercise.
Indeed, a child who knows himself will be able to evolve better because he will understand himself better. 
And what they also like is to see their parent share time with them to try to understand them 

Little game of the day ...

- Print the 6 men Plouf and the 2 plates of vignettes.
- Cut out the 6 Plouf men and the stickers.
- Identify with your child his/her mood: in love, angry, happy, scared (fearful), serene and sad
- Let your child identify which of Plouf 's moods the image corresponds to.

- Then ask them to identify with one or more of them at a time

This game helps your child to identify his emotions, what he feels, which will help him to express himself better.
