The Blob Tree for children
You can use it with your children, but the explanation for them should be given in their understanding and language.
It’s good tool for children to understand and express their emotions in a fun, approachable way. The images of the blobs are simple which makes it easier for them to identify their own emotional states, even if they don’t have the vocabulary to describe them fully.
Ask your child to choose a blob that represents how they’re feeling right now. You can ask him/ her even to draw their chosen blob or describe it to you.
Children can share which blob they chose and why, helping them learn how to express emotions and listen to others.
Ask children which blob they would like to be more like and what steps they can take to reach that state. This can help build problem-solving skills and emotional intelligence.
Which blob do you feel like today?”
“Why do you think you feel this way?”
“Which blob would you like to be more like? What could you do to get there?”
“How can we help your friend feel better if they’re feeling like one of the sad blobs?”
So will text you explanations for children. But don’t rush to interpret or tell them what each blob represents. More listen what they are speaking. Allow them to be expressive.
