Let Feelings Flow

Understanding emotions is challenging for children, this confusion often manifests in children’s tantrum. This inability to control their emotion increases the likelihood of behavioural and psychological issues in the future.

Mindfulness-based-intervention has shown effectiveness in managing negative emotion. Let Feelings Flow is created with the intention of assisting children and parents to explore emotional regulation through mindfulness, to curb the development of issues stemming from poor emotional regulation.

Due to limited findings on the effect of mindfulness on preschoolers and lack of emotional regulation education, this project focuses on how design intervention can be used to deliver mindfulness to facilitate emotional regulation among preschoolers.

The final product is a 3-book series which can also be stand-alone books; hoping to share emotions regulation strategies and mindfulness practices with parents and preschoolers to be incorporated into their daily routine, promoting emotional intelligence and eventually emotional control to improve overall well-being.

All These Voices in My Head

All These Voices in My Head is a personal exploration at documenting my inner voices (defined as passing thoughts and emotions). As an attempt to quiet these inner voices, I begun the practice of mindfulness meditation and explored a framework of forty days for this experiment. To track my progress of the practice, documentation of occurring thoughts and emotions each day were analysed, categorised and translated into visuals. This process was later developed into an app to extend the practice and visualisation to a larger audience. By connecting users of this app through an online repository, the project aims to map and understand the society’s collective inner voices.
