What’s Inside the Box?
- Coping Strategy Wheel: A colorful wheel with 4-5 strategies to help children move from “zombie” feelings (e.g., jealousy, anger) to “flower” feelings (e.g., calm, happiness).
- Coloring Poster: A fun, engaging poster that represents the emotional transformation from “zombie” to “flower.”
- Emotion Guide: An easy-to-understand guide explaining the process of emotional change and how to use the wheel and poster effectively.
- Markers/Crayons: Tools for children to color the poster while reflecting on their emotional journey.
How It Works:
- Identify the Feeling: When your child feels a “zombie” emotion (e.g., sadness, anger), they recognize it and prepare to change it.
- Spin the Coping Strategy Wheel: Use the coping strategy wheel to select a strategy designed to shift the emotion to a more positive one.
- Color the Poster: As they color the “zombie” to “flower” transition on the poster, they reflect on their emotional shift and feel the change taking place.
- Practice Self-Regulation: By repeating the process, children practice self-regulation techniques and learn to manage their emotions effectively.
