What is the theory behind the Emotion body map worksheet?
The emotion body map worksheet is designed to help students and kids understand the mind-body connection. Coloring different emotions in different parts of the body can help students identify where they feel certain emotions. We normally associate different emotions with different body parts when we are sad we feel it in our heart, when we are anxious we feel sensations in our stomach and we are worried we feel a stretch in our head. This worksheet can help kids and even adults signal where they feel these emotions.
