Description

A thought a child can name is a thought they can begin to understand. Research on preschoolers found that children who were better able to label their thoughts and feelings recovered faster when upset, and swung less often into strong negative moods. This worksheet gives a simple, repeatable method, not a lecture. A practice to do together.
