Emotions
I created two versions of this emotion chart to support young children as they learn to recognize and name their feelings. For children under five, limiting the number of emotions presented helps them better remember, recognize, and connect with different feelings throughout their day.
This chart was designed with toddlers and preschoolers in mind, featuring seven core emotions. As children approach Pre-K age, you might consider adding a few more emotions to expand their emotional vocabulary.
There are two options included:
- Version One: Uses photos of children displaying different emotions, offering a visual representation of what these feelings might look like. With one blank spot to add your own.
- Version Two: A complete blank version, allowing you to personalize it. You can add photos of your child to help them recognize emotions within themselves or use pictures of other children to strengthen their ability to recognize emotions in others.
I’ve also included the Happy and You Know It song that coordinates with the emotions to make learning even more fun and memorable!
Behavior
Here is a downloadable version of my Intrinsic Vs Extrinsic infographic. Remember, start with rewards if necessary—but gradually fade them and build intrinsic ownership.
