Very simple and useful
I love the tips in this book and my toddler loves a visual list of their options when they are feeling their feelings. We use this book everyday and do many of the options listed in the book. It helps him calm down and focus on what we can control. I will be purchasing another one to have on the go.

Self management for kids-homeschool friendly great for grown ups too
This product was absolutely amazing. I got tired I'm trying to solve all my kids problems especially with homeschooling during covid-19. I felt like I was going bonkers trying to managemyhome work pay the bills all wow solving every single little problem that came up with the kids that came up all the time throughout the day like if they were bored hungry frustrated irritated or even excited. Now I refer to the chart when I see these emotions creeping up and them or they have done something with one of the emotions. I use the chart as a first warning to allow them to use their choices and make a good choice before I have to step in and solve the problem at which point they will be disciplined or in trouble of some kind. This has been working because my brain doesn't have to work overtime to solve all the world's problems that come up for my kids and they would rather self-managed and learn about proper Choice has it relates to be specific feeling Dan for me to step in and solve the problem. This has been a blessing and brought great peace to our household and I'm so proud of my boys for learning skills that that carry over into other aspects of their life where they had would have to learn to make good choices and manage their emotions. This should be a must for every household and classroom in America! Heck I even used it a few times when I had overwhelming emotions that I didn't know what to do with on the Fly and I was able to come up with a good choice to manage my emotions! My kids love this it's a lot of fun for them they stay at the chart all day long. You will not be disappointed.

My autistic son loves it
TThis product is amazing in helping my autistic 7 year old identify his emotions and what he can do to help himself regulate as necessary. Highly recommend.

Not very Neurodivergent friendly, but a good basis.
My home is made up of primarily Neurodivergent members - many of whom struggle with accessing coping skills and describing emotions. I thought this might be a good place to start.It does feel quite solid, though it took us a little to get the hang of changing the pages as the tab you grab is not the emotion you'll flip to, so you have to grab the one in FRONT of the emotion you want. It feels solid and stands up well when I place two deck of cards in the folded stand for weight.Some of the emoticons are wildly misplaced, which gave us all a bit of a laugh, and some are 3D and shiny while others are not. At least I knew they were all looking at the faces and the details! So I'd almost mark this as a positive because it really makes you pay attention to details and ideas.I like that there is a section to write in other coping skills at the bottom of each page. I do not like that there are suggestions for some emotions that are just not people focused. For example, one of the coping skills for "Excited" is "I can calm down." Really? Unhelpful. We'll probably put a label over that one and make it another write-in space.Overall it's a good base tool for exploring more than just the basic emotions and it helps kids get the idea of the identifying and coping.

Wonderful Self Regulatory Resource!
I teach elementary school students with Autism (ASD). My students have many different kinds of self regulatory needs and I strive to meet as many of them as I can, as often as I can. As soon as I saw this feelings and emotions flipbook I knew I needed it for the desk in our calming corner! My students absolutely LOVE it! When they are struggling with big emotions they do not always know how to appropriately express, they go to the calming corner so they can utilize the resources there to help themselves better self regulate. While there, my students are able to pull out this flipbook, explore the different emotions, feelings, and ideas within it, quietly breath, and take the time they need to sufficiently calm down so they can successfully rejoin their classmates. Thank you for creating this wonderful resource! For my students with Autism (ASD), and the dedicated staff that work with them, it really is life changing!

Not laminated
My son enjoys using this to express how he's feeling, both when he's in a good mood or a bad mood. He also grabs it and brings it to me to ask how I'm feeling.I only have a couple complaints, it is made of card stock so it's sturdy, but it is definitely NOT laminated. My son could tear the tabs off if he tried and one of them already has been crumpled. (We've only owned this for about a week.) My other complaint is that the options of "what to do" are a bit repetitive. For example, "I can write about it" appears as an option for 6 of the 18 feelings. I wish there was a greater variety of possible actions.Overall, it's a really handy idea. It helps kids identify their emotions with big emojis and gives them options for how to best proceed. It's a shame it's not laminated, you can't write on it.
