📖 About this Resource

Help children and teenagers expand their emotional vocabulary with this printable Emotion Wheel. Designed by a Child and Young Person Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, this resource encourages young people to recognise, name and better understand their emotions in a supportive and non-judgemental way.

Many children find it difficult to explain how they feel, particularly during moments of stress or overwhelm. The Emotion Wheel provides a visual way to explore a wide range of emotions, helping children move beyond describing feelings as simply "happy", "sad" or "angry". By developing emotional vocabulary and awareness, young people can begin to communicate their needs more confidently and build stronger emotional regulation skills.

Ideal for use at home, in schools or during therapy sessions.
