Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner
Good morning,
This test focuses on what a parent notices about their child's emotional life: recognizing a feeling and having a word for it, calming back down when it runs high, putting it into words rather than being swept along by it, and doing something with anger. These skills don't all develop at the same time. The report shows which one is still missing.
What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.
How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report
The test runs over 63 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.
We'd also suggest reading the book Adolescence in Crisis, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

QUICK ANSWER
How Does My Child Handle Their Emotions? — a 63-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test focuses on what a parent notices about their child's emotional life: naming feelings, calming back down, putting feelings into words, and handling anger. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 5 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.
This interactive test looks at how your child recognizes and names their emotions, calms back down when they run high, expresses them, deals with anger, and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Recognizing and naming If, when asked how they feel, your child answers “I don't know.” If your child uses precise words for their emotions: sad, angry, worried. Calming down If something that upset your child in the morning still weighs on them at dinnertime. If, after a big emotion, your child settles down and goes back to what they were doing. Expressing If, when things are not going well, your child goes up to their room and shuts the door. If, when things are not going well, your child comes to you for a cuddle. Anger If your child's angry outbursts end in screaming, hitting or things being thrown. If your child can express anger without shouting or hitting. Readiness to change If what you have just described weighs on your life as a parent. If you want to take action to better support your child in this area.
About this test
▼
Dimensions assessed
- ●Your view of the way your child experiences and expresses their emotions- The way you explain the way your child experiences and expresses their emotions, before the test tells you anything. This section does not measure any difficulty or produce a level: it simply records your initial view.
- ●Identifying emotions- The ability to recognize and name what your child is feeling. The report places this dimension upstream of the others: it is hard to regulate what has not yet been identified.
- ●Emotional regulation- The return to balance once an emotion has been set off, looked at in two stages: how long it takes, then what your child draws on to get there.
- ●Expressing emotions- How what is felt finds a way out, and how this varies depending on who your child is with. Feeling, regulating and letting others know are three separate processes, and the report keeps them apart.
- ●Managing anger- Anger taken on its own, because it follows its own logic: what sets it off, the form it takes, and what is left once the episode is over.
- ●Readiness to change- Your availability as a parent, treated as a prerequisite: it sets the pace of the suggestions offered.
Reference frameworks and authors
