Feelings Neighborhood Models
Practical models and worksheets for understanding feelings, exploring choices, and practicing new skills in everyday life.
Sometimes, a few simple steps are easier to remember when you connect them to a name.
​
In Feelings Neighborhood, we use names to create models — each letter becomes a reminder of something you can notice, explore, or try.
​
And there doesn’t have to be only one model for each name.
​
Look at WENDY.
​
The same five letters can create different paths for different moments.
One WENDY Model may help you work through worry and make a plan.
Another may help you check in with your feelings, notice what you need, and choose what helps.
You can create your own models, too.
​
Try a name that feels meaningful to you — a Feelings Neighborhood character, someone you care about, or even your own name. Think about what you want the model to help you remember, then assign a step to each letter.
​
Your model can be for big feelings, difficult choices, calming down, solving a problem, asking for help — or anything else you want to practice.
​
There is no single right way to build a model.
Make it meaningful. Make it memorable. Make it yours.
Now, Let’s Practice the Models
You’ve seen how a name can become a simple model to help you remember what to do.
