Mood Check-Ins
What Are Mood Check-Ins?
Children can log how they're feeling using simple emoji selections:
- 😊 Happy
- 😐 Okay
- 😢 Sad
- 😟 Worried
- 😠 Upset
Who Sees This?
Both parents see all mood check-ins. This is intentional—it prevents secrets with one parent and ensures both are aware of how the child is doing.
Why It Helps
- Pattern recognition: Notice "always sad on transition days"
- Conversation starters: "I saw you felt worried yesterday—want to talk?"
- Documentation: Track emotional wellbeing over time
