Use the child's own words. Pictures and colors count.
A feeling that feels okay in my body
A feeling that feels very big
Where I notice that big feeling
What my face, hands, or voice do
What helps me
A person I want nearby
A place that feels safer
Something I like to hold, hear, or do
Words that help, or quiet that helps
After the feeling
