"Use your words" assumes the words are there. For a lot of kids — autistic, ADHD, or just young — the feeling arrives long before the vocabulary does. A feelings chart gives them a shortcut: point at the face, skip the impossible translation step, get understood.
This chart keeps it to six feelings a child can actually tell apart: happy, sad, angry, worried, tired, calm. Big faces, high contrast, no visual noise. The PDF is free — print one for the fridge and one for the car.
Need "frustrated", "overwhelmed", or "missing grandma"? Generate a custom feelings chart — with your child's face on it — using the free tool. The generator is free too — nickname account, no ads, a fair weekly limit so it stays free for every family.
Because a chart is a tool, not a curriculum. Six visually distinct faces can be told apart at arm’s length mid-upset; twenty nuanced emotions cannot. You can always grow the set later.
During the build-up, yes — that’s its best moment. At full meltdown, no tool works; safety and quiet come first. Practice happens in calm times so the chart is automatic when it counts.
Yes — the free generator can create picture cards for feelings and situations you type yourself ("frustrated", "too loud", "missing dad"), drawn to match your child’s age.
It’s a bridge, not a substitute. Naming comes first (even by pointing), words ride on top later. This is an educational support — for concerns about language development, talk to a speech-language professional.
