Resources for Families

Welcome to Making Caring Common’s resources for families, parents, and caregivers! We offer activities, tips, resource lists, discussion guides, and more to help you raise caring and ethical children who are concerned about others and the common good.

Feelings Wheel

Struggling to understand your child's emotions? A Feelings Wheel can help! This visual tool can expand your child’s emotional vocabulary with words for both basic and complex feelings. They'll learn the difference between "sad" and "disappointed," or "frustrated" and "angry."

The wheel also can act as a springboard for conversation. Point to different sections and ask your child to identify their feelings. This opens the door to discuss what caused the emotion and healthy ways to cope with it. The wheel even shows how emotions connect, helping them understand the complexity of their inner world.
