Five visual posters that show children what helps their body at every stage of emotion

When children experience big feelings, they don’t just need to name them — they need to know what helps.

The Feelings Thermometer – Regulation Level Posters Pack is a focused set of five visual posters designed to support children at each stage of emotional intensity. Each poster helps children recognise how their body feels and see, at a glance, what supports regulation at that level.

This pack is ideal for parents, teachers, and practitioners who want practical, visual regulation support without the complexity of a full programme.

Why This Pack Works

Children often struggle to choose the right support in the moment. These posters:

• break regulation into clear, manageable steps

• reduce overwhelm by focusing on one level at a time

• support non-verbal communication

• encourage calm, attuned adult responses

This is not a behaviour management tool.
It is a supportive, body-based regulation aid.

What’s Included

This pack includes 5 print-ready regulation A3 posters, one for each emotional level:

• Calm (Green) – supporting steady, regulated states

• A Little Wiggly (Green–Yellow) – early signs of dysregulation

• Big Feelings (Yellow) – sadness, worry, frustration

• Very Big Feelings (Orange) – overwhelm, fear, anger

• Too Big (Red) – moments that require adult support and safety

Each A3 poster includes:

• a clear emotion level

• a child-friendly emoji face

• body cues children recognise

• practical support tools (“I need…”)

• a simple prompt to guide adult response

How to Use

• Display posters in calm corners or emotional support areas

• Invite children to identify which level matches how their body feels

• Use the poster to guide your response and offer appropriate support

• Revisit the poster once calm has returned to build awareness

These posters work especially well during transitions, emotional check-ins, or early signs of overwhelm.
