Emotional awareness begins with a simple—yet often overlooked—skill: noticing what we’re feeling in the first place.

Many kids (and adults) struggle to identify their emotions, especially in a world that often teaches us to push feelings down or power through. When children don’t learn to check in with themselves, they can end up overwhelmed, confused, or relying on coping strategies that don’t truly help.

How Am I Really Feeling? The Power of Learning to Recognize Emotions, is designed to support caring adults in helping kids develop this key skill.

This guide offers parent empowerment through practical, science-informed tools that make it easier to talk about emotions in everyday moments. You’ll learn how to help kids understand that all feelings have a purpose—and that recognizing them is the first step toward healthier coping and stronger relationships.

Inside, you’ll explore why emotional awareness matters, what’s at stake when kids can’t name what’s happening inside them, and how simple check-ins can foster resilience and clarity.

With gentle explanations and kid-friendly strategies, this resource supports you in teaching children that emotions aren’t something to hide or fear—they’re signals, guiding us toward what we need.
