How do I feel today? How strong is the pain? How big is the fear? – questions like these are often asked during therapy and counselling with children and adolescents. When a child or adolescent has difficulty expressing in words how they are and what they feel, they can simply point a finger at the rating scales to give a clear indication of their feelings. The illustrated, child-oriented scales embrace such emotions as pain, anxiety, anger, sadness, joy, shame, disgust and relaxation. They also include SUD and VOC scales from the EMDR as well as several universal scales.
