Turn empty responses and shoulder shrugs into real conversations with our Feelings Finder Patches & Caps.

3 Steps to Building Communication Bridges

Using Our Feelings Finder Patches & Caps

STEP 1 - ASK

Ask the child that you want to connect with to point to the color & face on the Feelings Finder Patch that best reflects how they feel right now. This works whether you or the other person is wearing the patch.

STEP 2 - VALIDATE

Validate their feelings using a simple “I” statement such as: “I see that you’re feeling worried because you pointed to the orange face. Is that right?”

STEP 3 - LISTEN & TALK

Encourage them to share what is causing them to feel that way. Just listen and allow them to speak freely, without interrupting. If they're not ready to talk, ask if it would be easier for them to write it down or give them the option to wait until they feel more comfortable.

Now you have an entry point for more intimate conversations about their feelings that didn’t exist before. That’s how we can begin to build stronger connections with each other.

Help Younger Children Feel Seen & Heard with Just One Word

We've all been there...

Body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice are clearly telling us that our younger child, student or client needs help, but they shut down when we try understand what's really going on.

All we need is an opening - even a single word - to start a genuine conversation about what they're dealing with, so that we can be as supportive as possible.

Our Feelings Finder Patch & Cap can help us break down those communication barriers by giving the people we care about a simple, but powerful tool to express their emotions, which enables us to meet their needs more effectively.
