Emotional ABCs Anmeldelser 

As an LPC, Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, and Certified Special Education Teacher, I’ve spent 17 years working with children, and I can honestly say that Emotional ABCs is a resource kids really enjoy!

The cartoons featuring Moody are a big hit with the children I work with. I have so many who ask, “What is Moody going to get into today?” I love seeing how excited they get to watch the next cartoon. When kids are having fun and looking forward to learning, it makes such a difference!

The coloring activity book is another favorite because children can take it home, work on it, and share it with their families. It’s a great way to keep the conversation about emotions going outside of our sessions. The interactive games are also a hit and give children another fun way to practice what they’re learning.

What I love most about Emotional ABCs is that it makes learning about feelings fun and easy for kids to understand. After 17 years of working with children with different needs, I know how important it is to find tools that actually keep their attention. Emotional ABCs does just that! I highly recommend it to parents, therapists, and educators looking for a fun, engaging way to help children understand their emotions and develop important life skills.

I absolutely love Emotional ABCs! The platform is easy to use and provides an excellent resource for young children. I use the program in my school during individual check-ins with students, and it has been incredibly helpful in teaching them to identify and understand emotions in themselves and others.

With the help of this program, my students have developed the emotional vocabulary they need to express themselves more effectively. My favorite part is when students learn about the physical sensations associated with different feelings and begin to recognize what is happening in their bodies when they experience big emotions. This awareness helps them better understand and communicate how they are feeling.

I have been using Emotional ABCs for 10 years, and I have never felt the need to look for a replacement because of how effective and user-friendly the program is. The students also love receiving their certificates after completing an entire unit, which gives them a wonderful sense of accomplishment.

Another benefit is the ability to share with parents what we have been working on and offer suggestions for reinforcing these concepts at home.

Emotional ABCs has been a valuable resource in my work with students, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to help young children build emotional awareness and develop the skills they need to understand and express their feelings.

What a great program! I love how the website is organized; it makes it easy to find the tools you need. This is a great resource for emotional regulation and interoception.

It was amazing! My youngest child, who was diagnosed with ADHD, uses the Toolbar process to slow down and think when he needs it. He now recognizes when he is ramping up, emotionally. Because he stayed interested in the program, he learned skills to handle the emotions. Also, he really liked the Sensations Unit because that’s how he knows what he is feeling. I highly recommend this program – just such a fun, clear way for kids (and the family) to learn basic emotional skills, step-by-step. I think this program could be used by so many people, even in schools or with OTs.

I have found Emotional ABCs to be a helpful program for teaching students how to understand and manage their emotions. The lessons are short, engaging, and easy for students to follow. My students respond well to the characters and activities, which help them recognize different feelings and practice strategies for calming down or solving problems. I appreciate that the program uses simple language and visuals, making it accessible for a wide range of learners. It has been a useful tool for supporting social-emotional learning in my classroom.

I find this tool great for kids under age 10. I would love to see more content for older kids in the middle school range...But overall, it's a wonderful tool to help teach young kids how to process emotions!

I love year 1-it’s the most engaging social skill related material I’ve found for 5-7 yr olds. Even students who struggle to engage with minimal language! I’ve only started to use the year 2 materials and still have mixed feelings- I wish it had more examples of using the strategy such as the teaching videos in year 1. It’s still my favorite tool for getting children to learn to stop & breath and learn that emotions are normal but they have choices that are safe to get their needs met.

I am a special education teacher for a K-5 behavior separate classroom. I’ve been using Emotional ABC’s for my social skills group for 2 years and my kiddos love it (including my upper grade students). The program is engaging, interactive and even has lesson plans and printables. I highly recommend it for ANY classroom.

I have loved using Emotional ABCs in the classroom for many years. I do believe that it works best from a counselor/social worker position being able to push-into the classrooms. Then following up with the cohort, year after year, with the program, definitely created a win for us in our setting!

The concepts and skills are a wonderful addition to my Integrated Preschool program. I find the lessons are easy to implement and I can modify the language to help my students understand the concepts. I've heard children comment it's ok to have a new feeling, just like Moody did and the seasons! I love the connections.

As a behavior analyst, I was looking for something evidenced based to use in my school district, specifically targeting Pre-k to 2nd grade. Students love the Moody monster and the videos. I like how it continues to build on each of the lessons. It could use improvement with the workshops. Many of the activities are above my students level and I usually have to create my own.

Emotional ABC's has been such a great help in teaching my students about Emotions. It keeps their attention and keeps them engaged! I love it and would recommend it to others!

I am a gifted and talented (GT) source teacher who needs high quality social emotional learning curriculum to help my GT students better self-regulate and learn how to deal with their strong emotions well. The Emotiona ABC program is both highly engaging and effective for this goal! Students love to learn about Moody and all the tools and understanding he models with SEL for them through the videos and extra resouces within the program! I would recommend the program to classroom teachers, resource teachers and families who are looking for a big bang for their SEL bucks!

I used this program with my elementary students. They loved the characters and the interaction. They enjoyed the game like formats and the coloring pages that went along with the lessons.

Emotional ABCs had a huge impact on our son, who lives life in a "big way" and needed tools to self-regulate. The program was transformational in helping our family. And, of course, we all love Moody!!!
