My daughter and I enjoyed doing this activity. She discovered more about how she handles her emotions. I learned more about her, too! It's great to see her think of ideas on what she can do when these emotions come.

I introduced my daughter to the emergency calm cards as she has a hard time regulating her emotions. It has been truly transformational to see her finding her own space to look at this when her emotions start to get out of control.

One of my girls was getting stressed out by the end of the day. We did this activity together and she was able to understand why she was so upset at the end of the day. We learned that there are ways to avoid that the cup gets filled up and that we explode. Love this activity!
