Thought-Spot I Know What to Do Flipbook | Emotions Wheel & Feelings Chart | Emotional Regulation Tool for Home, Class, or Calm Down Corner | Helps Kids Learn Coping Skills | Autism Must-Have

My 4 year old son, like others who might be interested in this book, is on a journey to understand and regulate his emotions. During snacks times when he is calm and receptive we look through the emotions, laugh and talk about what the emoji can do when the emoji feels (whatever the emotion is showing). When I see him getting grumpy/worried/angry/frustrated I’ll grab the book, show him then page and let him look at the pictures. Sometimes we talk about what he can do to move from angry to calm, but sometimes he just looks at the pictures. It’s enough to distract him from whatever is upsetting him to de escalate the situation. Other times he helps me flip the pages, point at what might help and that is what we do. The visuals are very helpful. It’s very useful for teaching about emotions, how to name them and how to manage them. I see my son growing daily and know that this handy “guide to taking control of your feelings” is helping him make forward progress. The only thing I would change is the binding. We’ve flipped through this book numerous times and on occasion some pages come lose. I’m able to put them back on so it still works just a little bothersome. Still I highly recommend this as a teaching tool about emotions in a positive way during calm times, and then as a tool to redirect behavior when emotions are rising.

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.

Great for your kiddo to understand different emotions

While this book is engaging, I don't find the descriptors for each emotion to be appropriate for young learners. For example, the descriptors for grumpy are "bad tempered" and "upset" which would themselves require instruction on. Children won't know what those mean. Basically, this is not a good special education tool. Maybe good for calming activities but not instruction on social emotional skills.

My son thoroughly enjoys his Flipbook.

Get this book! This has helped my almost 4-year-old with her emotional regulation so much! She will go and sit and read it just because, or when she’s mad, she will go pull it out and then use the methods from the book to help her cool herself down. The pictures really help her identify the emotions. Such a great book!

Our 4 year old is using this along with her token chart to regulate her own emotions. The quality is amazing. It flips well, stands up or folds flat. Color is bright and the chart designs are informational. We love it, she actually carries it around the house with her.

Very pleased. 10 stars. It stands up on its own. The tabs make it very easy to use and my kids love looking at the faces (they think the illustrations are cute). I use this most for my son who has difficulty expressing himself (he’s sanguine/phlegmatic and ADHD). HIGHLY useful for all my children to learn what they can do with their feelings, but also serves as a tool for me to learn about them as students (I homeschool them), and gives us the opportunity for fruitful conversations as their mom to understand my kids better and for us to be proactive in avoiding negative behavior when something doesn’t go as planned. I plan on giving this to others. Excellent book.
