How Big is Your Feeling?
A scale to figure out how big your child’s feelings are.
When your child has any big feeling, one of the first questions you can try to figure out is how big your child’s feeling is. Your child’s answer will help you respond appropriately. You might gesture with your hands and ask, “How big is your fear? Is it this big or THIS BIG?” Knowing if a fear is very big or small will help you figure out what might help. The printable below offers coping strategies for fears of all sizes.
