Let’s begin
  1. Introduce them to the mood meter, angry is red, happy is yellow, sad is blue, calm is green. Having a visual representation of feelings are especially helpful in younger children.
  2. Play a piece of music that you think represent each of these emotions. While playing each piece, ask your child how that made them feel – sad? happy etc. Help them choose the appropriate colour and ask them to paint using this colour and paint how the music sounds to them. Do the same for each emotion.
