Feelings in a Jar: A Fun Game for All Ages for Endless Play & Interaction (In a Jar Series)

Product Information

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Most of us have experienced this and know that there are a whole host of feelings that can come with the end of a relationship. My jar would look something like this: frustrated, grateful, amused, annoyed, fear, doubt, determined, tired, interested, calm, busy.

Using an already thought of, named activity in a jar helps your child through the process of identifying that they need help from you and then practising asking for it. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Sometimes having a firm hug can be far more comforting that someone telling us it is all going to be ok. Usually, it just takes one of the items and he is calm enough to talk about what was upsetting him and make a plan to move forwards. Many of us have developed self-care tools: taking breaks from social media, exercising, getting lost in a good TV show when we need to, etc.

It was clear that the time he was too excited that he got in trouble he might consider putting that into a jar, but why the joy?

Having strategies that you can draw on, in the heat of the moment, can stop you from reacting in a way that that leaves both you and your child feeling helpless.

Welcome to Family Fridays — a series designed to give parents and children fun, meaningful activities you can do at home to explore feelings of grief and remember your loved one in unique ways. We encourage families to utilize this jar as a way to check-in with each other about the feelings they are experiencing and how BIG those feelings are. The next level after recognizing and regulating one’s emotions is to realize that there are many times that we have mixed emotions and we have choices about how we respond to those emotions. Each jar holds 101 little cards printed with "feelings words": gleeful, insecure, grateful, angry, cranky, courageous, hopeful, and many more. If you don’t have pom poms at home you can use different color strips of paper, beads, or you can send kiddos on a scavenger hunt to find things of like colors around the house.It can give us a more complete picture of just how many things – and what – we might be feeling about a situation. Times of uncertainty can bring up a lot of feelings for grieving children, but also for us as adults. In fact, the best thing about a coping skills jar, is that it can be taken with you and used anywhere!

Just because we feel an emotion does not mean it’s true, and it doesn’t mean we just ARE that emotion. How do you think that person would show up in the world if they just believe as if it’s a fact that they are a scared person in general? Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. You are you and you are a magnificent, perfect, whole, glorious creation that sometimes (and maybe oftentimes) feels certain emotions. Through my faith and some great tools, I was able to completely change my life and find myself again.It seems like a small thing, but when you are already trying to manage your big feelings, having other messages as simply laid out for you as possible can be really helpful.

My daughter clapped for the end of this book, she was so happy for the bunny feeling better and having friends. Try to include activities that have a sensory component so that your child can connect with them both on a sensory level and emotionally. But we can see that as each emotion gets throw into the jar and into the dark closet that things are changing.

Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy. Putting the effort in up front to teach your child these skills will pay off with time as your child learns to manage his or her big feelings in a constructive way. And then when the emotions are let loose, there is no understanding of how better to manage the emotions, which, it seems, was the problem in the first place. In this book we meet a bunny who finds out that he can put his emotions in bottles/jars/anything of glass really, and just hide them. We then go to the jar, take out all the pictures, and he can choose the thing he thinks may help him feel better.
