These aren’t your average flashcards. More Than Your Regular Emotion Cards are a thoughtfully designed tool to help children name, understand, and express their feelings in healthy, empathetic ways.
Building a Foundation of Self-awareness, Resilience and Confidence for Our Children
Teaching our children to identify, understand, and deal with their emotions and big feelings at a young age will help them grow to be mentally resilient, self aware, and confident. Children who can identify and understand their own and others' emotions are not only better at regulating their responses to strong emotions, and can also gauge a situation and respond appropriately. Self regulation (the ability to calm, relax, and soothe yourself) is also key in helping them build socio-emotional skills in their interaction with others. These tools will benefit them for a lifetime.
Building Emotional Resilience through Education
Our cards offer many fun and easy learning opportunities to encourage children to openly discuss and reflect upon their feelings. Use them as flash cards to teach children to identify and understand their feelings, role play with the scenario cards provided or alongside story books and real life situations!

What are these emotion cards?
Our More Than Your Regular Emotion Cards are thoughtfully designed tools that go beyond “happy” and “sad.” They help children understand, name, and express a wide range of emotions in a safe and playful way. There are 3 types of cards - feeling cards, coping strategy cards, and scenario cards. Each feeling card is paired with explanation on how it feels in your body and why you feel that way, helping children better identify their feelings. The coping strategy cards provide a trove of ways for children to deal with their feelings that best suit them.

Together with a guide card with tips on how to use these cards, affirmations, and practical strategies, this deck helps to support emotional literacy and resilience.
