How to use it

  1. Tap the face that is most like how you feel right now.
  2. Read the kind line, and press the breathing button if you want to calm your body.
  3. Breathe in as the bubble grows and out as it shrinks. Then tell a grown-up you trust how you feel.

Ideas for class

  • Start the day with a tap. There is no right face.
  • Use it after recess or a hard moment, then breathe together.
  • Talk about the faces at circle time: what does worried feel like in your body?
  • Pair it with a calm brain break from the brain breaks cards.
  • For the whole room on the projector, use the calm-down breathing board.

Questions

Does this tell anyone how my child feels?

No. The faces are not sent anywhere. A short “today I felt” list is kept in this browser until tomorrow, and a child can clear it any time.

Is this a test or advice?

No. It is not a diagnosis and gives no advice beyond breathing and telling a grown-up you trust.

What if my child is really upset?

Stay with them and talk. This tool is a small way to start, not a replacement for a grown-up who listens.
