Emotional Regulation / module 1 of 1
The Feelings Weather Report
Each day the child reports their inner weather: sunny, cloudy, stormy, or rainbow, building the habit of noticing feelings.
Guide
At breakfast ask: 'What is your weather today?' Share yours first, honestly: 'I am a little cloudy because I slept late.' When the child is upset later, connect back: 'Is a storm coming? Let us do balloon breaths.' Teach balloon breathing: hands on tummy, slow breath in to inflate, slow hiss out.
Material
- Printable weather-feelings chart (platform library)
- Or draw four weather faces together on paper
Activities
Daily: morning weather report. Play: act out each weather with the whole body. Group: pod children show their weather card at circle time.
You will need

Check yourself
