Feeling Schedule – Gentle Rhythm for the Day
A Soft Way to Notice What Your Body Needs Throughout the Day
The Feeling Schedule offers a calm, visual way for children to notice how different moments of the day feel in their body.
It supports quiet noticing, emotional safety, and interoceptive awareness — especially when words are hard to find.
Each icon represents a moment in the day, using simple shapes and gentle metaphors instead of faces or emotions.
