😆🤨😃FINDING MY SELFIE CHALLENGE 😒😬🫣

We as adults have had many, many years to learn how to process our emotions and find the words to express how we are feeling.

Whereas children are just beginning to understand that they have big feelings!

‘Finding My Selfie’ is a lovely way to help your little one to recognise different facial expressions, make connections between what they’re feeling and what that might look like, and find the words for those feelings.

All you have to do is, with your little one, make funny, emotional faces and take a selfie.

Then, swipe through the selfies, naming each expression or emotion captured.

Some emotions and feelings that you might like to try: tired, excited, angry, shy, scared, happy, grumpy, curious, worried, calm, sad.

Sometimes, when your little one can’t find the words, using the ‘emotional selfies’ as a prompt can help them show how they might be feeling
