Free parent resource

Big Feelings Toolkit.

A simple creative resource to help children talk about change, big feelings and confidence.

When a child is having a big feeling, it can be hard to know where to begin. They may not have the words yet. They may say “I don’t know.” They may cry, go quiet, get frustrated or avoid the thing that feels too much.

The Big Feelings Toolkit gives you a gentle way in.

What it helps with

It helps children pause, notice and express.

The toolkit helps children pause, notice what they feel, express what is happening inside and take one small confident next step.

Pause

Create a gentle moment before trying to explain, fix or rush through the feeling.

Express

Give children a creative way to show what is happening inside when words feel too hard.

Next step

Help your child move towards one small confident action they can manage.

Why creative tools matter

Sometimes the drawing comes first.

Some children cannot explain everything with words straight away. The colour can come first. The shape can come first. The creative tool can open the conversation, then the words can follow.

A gentle way in.

The Big Feelings Toolkit helps you start there, with simple prompts and creative tools children and parents can return to.
