Mood Menus
Being able to identify, observe and describe feelings is an empowering skill for children to develop. Being mindful of our emotions allows us to feel more in control, develop self-regulation and learn coping strategies.
These engaging mood menus and supporting resources help children learn about their feelings, and include a range of strategies and activities to help when we are feeling overwhelmed with emotions. The ECE bundle is suitable for children aged 2-5 and the 0-3 bundle for children aged 5 – 8. Whānau may also find these resources useful for supporting their children when confronting and managing challenging emotions at home.
