I am a counseling intern. At the agency where I work we deal with children and families that deal with some traumatic things in life. Part of the healing process is for clients especially children and families to be able to share their feelings and sometimes we have to get really creative in order for this to happen. I can see how this game can be very useful in that process.

I just found this on Pinterest and I LOVE this idea! My son is still pretty young, so I’ll have to try this when he gets a bit older. Thanks!

In reply to Patricia. I am trying to let my kids know that all feelings are good feelings, they help us in so many ways. But I have trouble sometimes to let them express the feeling "mad" so I would say that the “mad” Kimochi would be my favorite. I work with parentworkshops and knows that a lot of parents have problems handling that feeling. Lots of love from Sweden.

Kimochis – what a great idea! We ask our son how he is feeling very often, but sometimes I feel we put words in his mouth. It would be great if he could pick out how he is feeling, unprompted and explain. Maybe he could throw a kimochi when feeling mad or frustrated, instead of yelling or stomping! I like the Octopus because it reminds me that we can have so many feelings at once. Kimochi are kimochi ii! (feel good!) 気持良い！

I like all of the Kimochi’s, I work at a school with many parents and children that would benefit, learn to express and control their feelings with them. Believe me, they will have a GREAT home if we are lucky enough to win! Thank you so much.

I like the mad Kimochi as that is a feeling my toddler is working on controlling!
