Take CHARGE of My Rainbow of Emotions: Rainbow of Emotions App Workbook for Children 8-12
As children move through the upper primary years, their feelings get more complex. This practical guide helps them notice their body’s stress signals, rate how strong a feeling is, and build their own set of strategies they can use at home, at school and online.
This practical self-regulation guide is for teenagers and adults managing high school, independence, work and relationships. Readers learn to recognise how stress shows up in their body, rate the intensity of their emotions, and build a personal plan of strategies they can use in everyday life.
Readers develop their plan across the six CHARGE categories:
- C – Chat: Setting boundaries, working through conflict and using support networks.
- H – Helpful Thinking: Recognising unhelpful thinking patterns and seeing other perspectives under pressure.
- A – Amusement: Making time for creativity, entertainment and humour to decompress.
- R – Relaxation: Structured breathing, grounding and body-based calming techniques.
- G – Good Routines: Sleep habits, time management and healthy digital routines.
- E – Exercise: Using physical activity to release tension and manage everyday stress.
Inside this book:
- 60 realistic scenarios about deadlines, starting work, relationships and digital overload
- Reproducible tracking tools at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels
- Emotion rating scales of 1–3, 1–5 or 1–10 to suit each reader
- Activities to recognise body signals and plan ahead for difficult situations
Use it as a self-guided resource, alongside therapy or support, or with the Rainbow of Emotions App.
