For kids

Your feelings toolkit

Hi! Everybody has feelings — happy ones, sad ones, worried ones, and mad ones. This is your own private space to figure out how you feel and find something that helps.

Grown-ups, this one’s for the kids

These tools use simple words and stay right here in the browser — nothing a child types is ever sent anywhere. It’s nice to explore it together the first time.

How do you feel right now?

Tap the face that matches how you feel. There are no wrong answers — all feelings are okay!

Balloon breathing

Pretend your belly is a balloon. Watch the circle and breathe with it — big and slow. This helps your body feel calm.

Ready?

Worry box

Sometimes writing a worry down and putting it away helps it feel smaller. Type a worry, then tuck it in the box. You can talk about it later with a grown-up you trust.

Opening your box…

If you feel really, really bad

If you ever feel so bad that you think about hurting yourself, tell a grown-up you trust right away. You can also call or text 988 — a kind person will answer and help. You are not alone, and it is not your fault.

Private to you. Anything you type into the tools here stays on this device, in this browser. Nothing is sent to us or saved to an account — no child’s information ever leaves your device. Clearing your browser data erases it, so print anything you’d like to keep.
