Feelings Check-In Cards
Your child can't identify or express their emotions
Steps
- Use feelings cards or a feelings chart with emoji faces
- Check in at set times: morning, after school, bedtime
- Ask 'Which face matches how you feel right now?'
- Validate whatever they share: 'That makes sense'
- Over time, they'll start identifying feelings without prompts
What you need
Feelings chart or cards (printable included in toolkit)
Why it works
Many children with Autism and ADHD experience alexithymia — difficulty identifying and naming emotions. Feelings cards provide a visual bridge between the internal experience and language. Regular check-ins build emotional vocabulary gradually, without requiring the child to generate the words from scratch.
Age guidance
Best for ages 3-10. Start with 4-5 basic emotions for younger children and expand as their vocabulary grows.
Real-world example
Parents often worry their child just picks the same face every time. This is actually normal at first — they're learning the process. After a few weeks, most children start differentiating and may surprise you with how precisely they can identify what they're feeling.
Troubleshooting
- Start with just 4-5 basic emotions, then expand
- Don't correct their feeling. If they say 'angry' when you think 'sad', accept it
