First, this daily practice helps the child to build the skills of pausing and taking an inventory of moods, sensations, and feelings. Using a visual scale, the process is simplified and doesn't require the complexities of emotional vocabulary taught in other settings. Checking in with your mood both before and after helps to highlight the benefits of using the mindfulness strategies as they can see the positive effects of their practice in their own life. Lastly, optional daily drawing and journaling space is provided because building the habit of putting our thoughts to paper can provide more objective reflection and effective coping.
