The Feelings Wheel – Social-Emotional Literacy Tool
The Feelings Wheel is a practical and engaging resource designed to help children recognise body signals, link them to emotions, and understand the triggers behind behaviours. By supporting emotional expression and self-regulation, it empowers children, parents, and professionals to navigate meltdowns, build awareness, and strengthen communication skills.
This tool features a carefully structured design with three layers—body signals, detailed feelings, and core emotion zones—making abstract concepts more concrete. The colour coding of each feeling zone is thoughtfully aligned with the Zones of Regulation framework and inspired by other well-known emotional literacy resources, ensuring consistency across teaching tools and therapy approaches.
The Feelings Wheel is ideal for parents, teachers, OTs, speech pathologists, psychologists, developmental educators, and allied health teams who want to give children a visual, structured way to explore their inner world and regulate their emotions. It is a flexible, evidence-informed tool to grow children’s emotion recognition and regulation—whether at home, in classrooms, or across therapy settings.
