Free Printable Feelings Chart

The use of a feelings chart can help open the lines of communication with your children. Behavior charts aren’t the only charts that are helpful to children.

Children that have difficulty expressing how they are feeling or letting their parents know about things that have happened during the day can use a chart with feelings to help.

By sitting down with your child and using this simple yet fun way of communicating with each other, you will build an even greater bond with your child that lets him/her know you are listening and that you care.

The first feelings chart is great for younger children or children with attention difficulties. The child can simply circle the feeling they are having that day and then elaborate in the last column any significant events that happened that day. The five W’s help to encourage your child to provide more details. Either you can write in the column what your child says or allow your child to write in the column on his/her own.

The second chart is good for older children to help them tell you about their day and the feelings associated with each event. Have your child go through the different feelings each day and write a few words about any events that may have happened that caused those feelings. For example, maybe your child got an A on a test, then he/she would write “A on test” under the feeling “Proud.”
