Abstract:
An educational method, apparatus, and instructions for improving an individual's ability to identify and express emotions, associate their emotion with needs, and then communicate the emotion and need through blocks having multiple faces. The apparatus comprises at least two sets of blocks and a support structure. A first set of blocks has faces bearing informative indicia identifying various emotions or feelings. A second set of blocks has faces bearing informative indicia which identify various needs. The support structure comprises optional textual material. The method and instructions lead the individual through the process of linking feelings identified through the use of the first set of blocks with needs identified through use of the second set, establishing an association between emotions and needs, and providing a simple verbal framework for identifying, linking, and sharing or describing feelings and needs. The invention can be practiced on a computer.
