Thank you Jenni-Marie! When I heard from autistic teen Jenni-maire on a Twitter feed, that she was struggling to identify emotions, I thought that the simplest way to help her would be to send her a set of My Mood Stars to see if they helped. Imagine my surprise and...

Children’s Mental Health Week – what we as parents can do to help our own children

Children’s Mental Health Week? In my day, such a thing simply didn’t exist! Do you remember playing outside in the streets until it got dark? Cycling on a clapped out old bike over mounds and troughs through fields without a helmet on? Climbing trees, walking on high...

⭐️ MOOD STARS ⭐️ I bought our Mood Stars from @mymoodstars41 a few weeks ago and have been using them regularly in my setting. I’ve noticed that by children seeing the emotions and being able to hold the soft stars it helps to initiate conversations about how they are feeling and - most importantly - WHY they feel the way they do. Over time children have become more confident in speaking about their feelings. I also tell them how I am feeling by selecting a star because I think if I don’t join in then the children won’t want to either! They always learn by us 😁 Plus we play many fun games with them too, one of our favourites is to throw the stars at the board and act out the emotion star they have selected. If you haven’t got any of these then I can highly recommend! They are amazing and have worked wonders for us all here 😁 #mymoodstars #emotions #childrensmentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #eyfs #send #autism #earlyyearsideasread more

brilliant idea gives a voice to a child who would otherwise be unheard

Fantastic way to help children with their feelings. My twin boys have not stopped throwing them at the board and making up fun games since we bought them. They immediately came up with idea of matching stars to the emotions of the characters on the TV! Whilst our boys are 7yrs, one is easily emotional and the other can struggle with larger groups of people and feel anxious, so both benefit from help expressing how they feel. Anything that makes this fun is brilliant and My Mood Stars does just that 🌟 And if you don’t know what to do with the box it arrived me.. why not do some craft?! Ours became a roman shield for a school project! See the comments for a photo 😆read more

My beautiful son has ASD and severe learning difficulties. He is non verbal and as a result presents with challenging behaviour when he’s upset, in pain etc. We bought him My Mood Stars and this is him exploring them today. Such a wonderful resource. ❤️read more

I absolutely Love My Mood Stars, i bought these for my nephew who has ASD and he finds it difficult to articulate himself. These wonderful little stars have helped him and his family immensely. We've seen a tremendous difference in him and his moods since using these. The frustration side of things has lessened a great deal as he is able to articulate to us how he is feeling. 5 stars from me. Beautifully designed and manufactured, thank you!read more

Really pleased with my mood stars! My son is 3 and half; his language is delayed and we are waiting for an ASD assessment. Ed has really enjoyed playing with the stars - their softness suit his sensory seeking nature and the fact you can throw them at the board and peel them off all help to engage him. I was surprised at a recent OT appointment that the lady used just a basic drawing of a happy face and sad face to help Ed with turn taking. OT’s need this in their lives if that is the usual standard- this is a far more engaging tool which is bound to much better support a potentially anxious child in that situation. I’m going to show her them next visit! Thinking of using the board as a husband progress weekly review board also 😂 If he brings me a bottle of wine tonight I’ll consider giving him a smiley face by his name.read more

I bought My Moods Stars book back in July and have used it throughout the summer but it has really come into it's own this week as my boy returned to school entering year 3. I've been able to tease out of him in a non obvious way using the book what he's feeling, what's gone well and what has bothered him. This has been a wonderful and unexpected bonus of working with the book. � So happy we bought one.read more

My children love playing with My Mood Stars. They are suitable for both pre-school and primary school aged children as they are able to interact with the stars in so many different ways. Over the Summer the stars have been on many different adventures in the garden, into space in the rocket tent and on a picnic to name but a few. A lot of toys get played with and then abandoned to the toy box, but my children keep getting drawn to play with their My Mood Stars and love playing with them over and over again.read more
