Help your child grow up emotionally literate—one feeling at a time!

Just as you teach children their ABCs, it’s equally important to help them build their emotional vocabulary. These cards go far beyond the basics of “mad,” “sad,” and “glad,” empowering children to recognize, name, and express a wide range of feelings. With a richer emotional vocabulary, children grow up better able to identify their emotions and communicate how they feel.

On the back of each of the 30 cards, you’ll find: A simple definition of the featured emotion, written in kid-friendly language.
