For parents and kids

Feelings talk cards

23 printable conversation cards that help kids put feelings into words. The more words a child has for what they feel, the less those feelings have to come out sideways.

A peek inside

Name it

What was the best part of your day?

Body clues

Where do you feel it in your body when you’re nervous?

Big feelings

What do you do when a feeling gets too big?

Family & us

What is something our family does that makes you feel safe?

Repair

Is there anything I did this week that hurt your feelings?

Pull one a day

Keep them at the dinner table or in the car. One card is enough.

Answer too

Kids learn to name feelings by hearing the grown-ups they love do it.

Listen more than you fix

“Tell me more” goes further than advice. There are no wrong answers.

This is how we break cycles: one conversation at a time, at the kitchen table.
