Emotions

Emotion tracking lets a child say how they feel by choosing one or more emotions and, if they want, writing a short reason why. Each entry is saved to a history you can review per family member.

Logging usually happens as part of a routine — a “How did you feel today?” task opens the picker — so feelings get captured in the flow of the day. You can also open the picker directly.

How did you feel today? — the emotion picker with an optional note.

  1. Open the emotion form. It normally opens from a routine task, but you can reach it directly from the child’s area.

  2. Tap one or more emotions in the picker. There are ten to choose from: Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Anxiety, Boredom, Embarrassment, Envy and Nostalgia. Each one animates when you select it, and you can pick more than one.

  3. If you want, write a short reason in the Want to say why? (optional) note.

  4. Tap Save to store the feeling.

The emotion history board shows one column per family member, each with a timeline of the emotions they logged — emoji, name and any note — grouped by day.

  1. Open the emotion history board.

  2. Select the members you want to see at the top of the board. Each selected member gets their own column.

  3. Read their emotions grouped by day. Every entry shows the emoji, the emotion name and any note the child added.

  4. Tap Load more at the bottom of a column to bring in older entries.

When no member is selected, the board shows a No member selected prompt. A member with no entries yet shows an empty column.

On a phone the board stacks into a single column; pick members at the top to fill it.
