One of our favorites, the My Feelings Cue Cards are suitable for professionals and parents alike. This 41-piece card deck was designed to not only assess emotional understanding, but also to build connection and rapport when talking about feelings. With a range of colorful pictorials showing monkeys who are angry, sad, happy, scared, confused, lonely, puzzled and everything in between, understanding how one feels by selecting the monkey who shows it the best has proven to be an amazing tool.
This prompting tool can be used to start conversations and learn about how we feel. The "feelings thermometer" cards can be used to teach and/or show strength of emotion, from 'a little' to 'a lot'. This incredibly popular resource also includes pictures of monkey's interacting with different emotions which has proven extremely beneficial in divorce/separation work and any situation in which reading social interactions is required.
