Response chains are ways we interact with the world. An event triggers a thought, which triggers an action, which results in a consequence. Children benefit from learning to identify their emotions and resulting actions. This resource consists of picture-and-text cards that are arranged in response chains. This way, the child learns relevant vocabulary, is exposed to examples of typical response chains (two positive and two negative chains) and, if they can read, has the change to fill out the included worksheet to identify a response chain of their own. The worksheet also includes a part on improving response chains to avoid negative behaviour in the future.

Part of developing good habits is learning to control your actions. This resource helps children who can read become aware of triggers and negative actions based on them. It also provides suggestions for better choices and includes a worksheet with which the children can analyse a situation that they experienced.

Developing good habits means becoming aware of actions that are positive and negative. Part of this is the skill of identifying emotions. Use this resource to supplement your character education in a fun, easy way! The card set includes the 7 basic emotions with clear pictures of real children, text cards and a control booklet.
