📌 Important Notes:

Children may experience and express emotions differently. Facial expressions can offer clues about feelings, but they do not always tell us exactly how someone feels.

Encourage children to explore their own emotional experiences without requiring them to associate a particular color with a specific feeling.

Coping skills are personal. Invite children to identify strategies that feel comfortable, accessible, and helpful for their individual needs.
