How clinicians use it

Cards are the most flexible tool in a playroom. Use them to build feelings vocabulary, practice coping skills, and gather quick in-session data you can write into notes.

Built for

  • Any child or teen goal involving feelings identification, expression, or coping
  • Individual, family, and group sessions; classroom SEL lessons
  • Quick in-session data: “named ___ of 9 feelings,” “chose 3 coping skills”

A simple flow

  1. Print on cardstock (letter, 100% scale). Print backs on the reverse if you like — flip on the short edge.
  2. Cut along the dashed lines. Laminate for repeat use.
  3. Start with 6–9 feelings cards for young kids; add more as vocabulary grows.
  4. Let the child sort coping cards into “works for me / not yet / not for me.”
  5. Send the child's top coping cards home with the tracker (last page).
  6. Note the skill practiced, the child's response, and the goal link.

Clinical note

These decks are original, general-purpose tools for building emotional vocabulary and practicing coping skills. They're not a standardized measure. Coping skills are practiced first when calm, then used when upset; pair practice with caregiver coaching so skills generalize. Card prompts can surface hard material — follow the child's pace and assess safety if a card brings up risk.
