The colorful Mixed Emotions "Junior" board and people pawns provide an engaging tool for young children to identify their emotions and gauge the intensity of their emotions. This process help children "stop and think" before acting out their emotions. The accompanying materials include for instructions several activities (Show Me How You Feel, Thinking About Feelings, and Coping With Feelings). On the reverse side of the board is a black and white version of the chart that can be copied and sent home with the child; ideas for home assignments are also included. Through the use of these engaging materials, therapists can use cognitive-behavioral techniques with even very young children.
