## What is Feelings Friend?

Show how you feel, together.

Feelings Friend helps children say how they feel when the words are hard to find. They make a soft, stitched friend and give it a face: eyes, brows and a mouth. The friend shows the feeling, and Feelings Friend gently names it: "Pip feels worried. Do you feel worried too?" Children always have the last word: tap the feeling to choose their own.

Free to download, with no ads and nothing to buy. Everything in Feelings today stays free, forever.

NINETEEN FEELINGS, NO WRONG ANSWERS
Happy, excited, proud, loved, calm, silly, surprised, confused, bored, tired, sad, lonely, worried, nervous, scared, embarrassed, cross, frustrated and overwhelmed. Children can tap where they feel it in their body, say what their senses need: too loud, too busy, needing to move or a big squeeze and choose what helps, from space on their own to headphones, a fidget toy or a comfort toy.

NOT SURE?
Two simple questions: "What is your body doing?" and "What is happening right now?" help children work it out, one step at a time.

MAKE IT THEIR FRIEND
Choose a manatee, bear or dinosaur, pick a colour and dress them up: hats, glasses, a hearing aid, ear defenders, a sunflower lanyard, a chew necklace and patches.

A DIARY FOR GROWN-UPS
Save a feeling and it goes in a private diary, with where you were and what was happening. Spot patterns over time, then make a PDF report for SENCO meetings, annual reviews and EHCP needs assessments, with an "All about me" page in the child's own words and a one-page "What helps me" profile for new teachers.

MADE FOR EVERY CHILD
Designed with SEND families in mind. Gentle first-time hints, no tutorial to sit through. Low-demand mode removes questions for children who find them hard, such as those with a PDA profile. Gentle sounds you can switch off, and a light or dark look. Separate friends and diaries for each child in the family, and a short guide that shows grown-ups how it all works.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No accounts. No tracking. The diary stays on your device, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to share it. Back it up whenever you like. The grown-ups area asks for a number written in words, so reports, backups and deleting stay with the grown-ups.

Feelings Friend is not a clinical tool. Use it alongside what you, and the people who know your child, see.
