Visiting Feelings

Summary

Do you have a feeling that's visiting today?

Can you open your door and invite it to play?

Visiting Feelings encourages children to treat their feelings like guests - welcome them in, get to know them, and perhaps learn why they are visiting. Through this purposeful and mindful exploration, Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child's innate capacity to fully experience the present moment and invites children to sense, explore, and befriend all of their feelings with acceptance and equanimity.

A Note to Parents provides more information about emotional awareness and mindfulness, plus practical advice and activities for introducing mindfulness into daily family routine.
