How to use it

Three minutes a day is enough to change how feelings get talked about at home.

Print it and put it up

A4 works perfectly. Somewhere at child height — the fridge, the back of a bedroom door, the classroom carpet area.

Ask once a day

Same moment each day, after school or at bedtime. “Which one is you today?” Pointing is easier than explaining.

Follow the feeling

Name it back without fixing it: “You felt worried today.” Being understood is what settles a child, not being talked out of it.
