The Emotion Train is here to help children become the conductors of their feelings! Our Emotion Train features a 5 step process to help children notice and regulate emotions, and includes a carriage to display the emotion they are feeling at that time.

Our carriages:

1. Notice - Ask: "What am I feeling?"
2. Accept - Say: "This is what I am feeling and that is okay."
3. Explore - Ask: "Is there a reason I feel this way?"
4. Regulate - Ask: "Do I need to do anything about this emotion?"
5. Move Along - Manage the feeling or let it pass and move on.

Emotion cards:

Emotion cards include: Angry, Worried, Calm, Scared, Happy, Sad, Surprised, Annoyed, Upset and Frustrated.

• As a daily communication tool - you can ask children each day to show their emotions by choosing an emotion card and then prompt discussion on how to manage and regulate that emotion.
