How does the Emotional Development Toolkit work?

Our approach centers on addressing the root causes of behavioural signals by equipping adults with the tools to teach Emotional Literacy, Emotional Regulation, and Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Literacy

Teach a wide range of emotions

The Emotional Development Toolkit introduces 32 emotions, providing a comprehensive foundation for emotional literacy. The posters help children learn about emotions visually and are designed to engage young children from 2 years old onwards.

Gratitude

Children learn to understand positive feelings and develop thankfulness.

Identify and name emotions

The Emotional Development Toolkit helps children identify and name various emotions. By acknowledging their emotions, children can diffuse unpleasant feelings and gain the time needed to process and regulate them.

Teach children to express their emotions verbally

Children can learn to express themselves verbally to solve problems and reduce physical behavioral actions. This also helps them share their feelings with other people and develop good communication skills.

Emotional Regulation

Bulling
The Emotional Development Toolkit teaches children empathy, how to respond best to people, and how to overcome bullying tendencies. By learning how other people feel, children begin to understand how their actions can affect other people.

Breaking the cycle of bad attitude
We have developed a co-regulation activity inspired by a leading brain scientist, Dr Caroline Leaf’s recommended approach to breaking the cycle of negative attitudes. This method is both uplifting and fosters stronger parent-child bonding.

Big emotions
The Positive Mindset Kids Journal helps children learn the art of journaling to decompress emotions and allow time to regulate their emotions. The journal also helps develop confidence, courage, gratitude, and a positive mindset. It has been designed to complement the Emotional Development Toolkit and help children process thoughts and feelings with uplifting wisdom.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotion coaching

We have chosen to employ a well-researched method of emotion coaching to empower adults to process thoughts and emotions with children. Emotion coaching parenting increases emotional intelligence in children, including self-awareness, self-regulation, awareness of other people and relationship management.

Uplifting wisdom

In addition to emotion coaching, the Emotional Development Toolkit includes 'uplifting wisdom'—a collection of cherished insights that guide both adults and children. These golden nuggets of wisdom are rooted in values such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, and self-control. By embracing these principles, children can develop emotional intelligence while cultivating these characteristics.

Written by Paediatrician

Our Paediatrician Collection posters are written by a Paediatrician. It includes uplifting wisdom and questions that help parents connect with the child by prompting them to think about good values and develop more understanding from the uplifting wisdom.

By developing emotional literacy, emotional regulation and emotional intelligence, children can communicate their emotions, empathize with other people’s feelings and have less conflict. These vital skills will equip them to navigate social and emotional challenges, setting the stage for a thriving adult life.
