How a body sensations chart builds body awareness

Rather than waiting until a signal gets loud, you learn to pick up on small early clues and respond with an easy step, like a glass of water, a snack, an extra layer, a stretch or a break. The guide and lists of sensation words give you language for feelings that are tricky to put into words, and the body outline shows where emotions such as excitement or worry sit for you.

Complete the body sensations chart across a few weeks and your own patterns start to appear. Kids pages rely on easy words, circles and coloring, so children can take part alongside a grown-up.

Who these interoception worksheets are for

• Teens and adults who tend to notice thirst, hunger or tiredness only once it is strong
• Neurodivergent children, teens and adults, including ADHD and autistic people, who want gentle practice with reading body signals
• Parents looking for simple, playful pages that help kids put words to what they feel in their bodies
• Anyone curious about how emotions appear in the body who wants to build calm, kind habits

Design, sizes and printing

• A clean, elegant look: white pages with gentle blush pink touches that are light on ink
• Generous margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Choose US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4 (210 x 297 mm), both in portrait
• No dates printed, so you can reprint the check-in, the log and the kids pages whenever you like
• Dedicated kids pages with easy words, large circles and a big body outline for coloring
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
