FeelingFriends — for grown-ups
FeelingFriends helps children ages 5–8 build the earliest foundations of emotional literacy — naming feelings, reading faces, understanding how a situation makes someone feel, and choosing kind ways to help. Putting a name to a feeling is itself an active learning step: it helps children tell feelings apart and manage them.
What your child practices
- Name the Feeling — hearing a feeling word and finding the face (with Momo).
- Face to Feeling — reading an expression to name the feeling (with Facey).
- How Do They Feel? — sensing a friend’s feeling from what happened (with Sensa).
- What Helps? — choosing a kind, caring response (with Comfy).
Every feeling is welcome — none is ever “wrong,” and a different tap is never scolded. The activities are audio-first with big buttons, gentle feedback, and a quiet moment to notice your own feeling at the end. Faces are drawn with a range of skin tones so every child sees friends who look like them and unlike them.
A note on safety: FeelingFriends is a gentle emotion-learning app for young children — it is not a crisis or mental-health service. If your child is going through something big, the most helpful thing is a caring grown-up they trust. Talk together about feelings, and reach out to your family’s doctor or a counselor if you have concerns.
