Emotional Intelligence for Teens Workbook: Feelings, Calm and Empathy

This emotional intelligence for teens workbook turns a big idea into everyday practice for young people ages 12 to 18.

There are 28 undated pages in US Letter and A4, delivered as a PDF you can download instantly. Nothing is shipped.

One page at a time, the five EQ skills become small habits that last.

How the emotional intelligence for teens workbook builds real skills

The five EQ skills are introduced in relaxed, teen friendly language and then put to work. A feelings word wheel offers 6 core emotions and 24 more precise words, alongside a daily mood check-in, a weekly mood tracker and an emotion, thought, action log that traces how a single moment becomes a reaction.

Calm is planned ahead of time with a green, yellow and red plan and a toolbox that includes box breathing and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 grounding. Six empathy scenarios, listening practice, a worksheet for friend conflicts and an apology planner prepare teens for school, home and group chats.
