Feelings thermometer

Colour-based regulation tool for kids who can't find words.

Feelings thermometer

Point to your colour. No words needed.

Red — exploded

I need to be alone. Don't talk to me. I'll come back when I can.

Orange — boiling

Loud voice. Stomping. I need movement or cold water now.

Yellow — bubbling

Snappy. Fidgety. I need a snack, a break, or a hug.

Green — calm

I can listen, play, and learn.

Blue — low

Quiet, tired, heavy. I need rest, a warm drink, or someone close.
