A CBT-Informed Mega-Bundle for Kids
Printable Social-Emotional Learning Activities, Worksheets, Visual Supports & Coping Tools
Helping children understand feelings through simple language, visual learning, and meaningful practice.
Children often experience sadness, worry, frustration, disappointment, loneliness, embarrassment, or emotional overwhelm without fully understanding what is happening inside their minds and bodies. This thoughtfully designed mega bundle helps children identify emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop coping skills, practice emotional regulation, and build resilience using child-friendly weather metaphors, visuals, and CBT-informed activities.
Created by Wendy Young, LMSW, BCD, this bundle combines therapeutic concepts with engaging, approachable materials designed specifically for children. The activities are ideal for therapists, school counselors, social workers, psychologists, educators, behavioral specialists, and caregivers seeking practical tools that children can actually understand and use.

I've put hundreds of hours into creating this resource, to save you time, energy and frustration as you prepare for sessions, groups and classroom interactive presentations. I encourage you to use the full color visuals on the whiteboard and print the worksheets in black and white for client/student exploration, when presenting to large groups or classrooms. Use in whatever way makes sense for your purposes.
Each concept also includes an additional companion worksheet (and in some cases multiple bonus worksheets) designed to deepen understanding and encourage reflection, application, and emotional processing.
These companion activities may include:

These extension activities help children move beyond simply reading concepts and into meaningful emotional learning and skill-building. We encourage clinicians to use this resource as a spring-board to create additional activities relevant to the child(ren) they are treating. The opportunities are endless!
