Emotions Thermometer poster

The Emotions Thermometer Poster is a simple, visual tool designed to help children notice, name, and understand their emotions before they become overwhelming.

Using a clear thermometer-style scale, this poster supports children to recognise how emotions feel in their body as they move from calm to big. It helps children and adults build a shared language around emotional intensity, making it easier to spot early signs of dysregulation and respond with support rather than correction.

This poster is especially helpful for children who experience big emotions, anxiety, or difficulty explaining how they feel. It can be used at home, in learning spaces, or alongside therapeutic support to encourage emotional awareness, regulation, and communication.

The Emotions Thermometer Poster is not about controlling feelings or pushing children to calm down. It is about helping children understand their internal signals, feel supported, and access the right support at the right time.

A practical, brain-based visual to support emotional understanding and regulation, from the very start.
