Developed at the Research Centre for Experiential Education(Leuven University) under supervision of renowned international early childhood expert, Prof. Dr. F. Laevers,A box full of feelings is designed specifically to support the social-emotional development of children aged two to seven. The set is built around four basic feelings: happiness, fear, anger and sadness.
The box contains several basic materials to get children involved in more than 20 different activities, all year round. With a great variety of activities to choose from, they can be offered in a flexible way: as guided group activities, as optional activities, as part of a separate area for social-emotional development or occasionally as a response to certain events.
A box full of feelings helps children remain or get in touch with their inner world of feelings, recognise emotions in themselves, accept them, name them and have a more differentiated awareness of them. The impact of using the box is significant: practitioners report how children are more alert to utterances of feelings, how they use a more differentiated vocabulary concerning emotions, how their intuitions become more refined and how their capacity to cope with painful experiences strengthens, with inner calm and serenity as a result. This effect is even shown to be reflected at the group level.
