The Emotions Lab: Discovering and Understanding Feelings Together

What does joy feel like in the body? Where does sadness reside, and what helps when anger suddenly becomes overwhelming? In the Emotions Lab in Bielefeld, children and parents explore the world of emotions together. This open offering combines curious exploration, age-appropriate knowledge transfer, and practical exercises for family life.

Emotions Become Exciting Research Questions

In the Emotions Lab, families experience that every emotion is important and serves a unique function. In the emotions quiz, participants match emotions to appropriate everyday situations. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience that helps children better perceive inner processes and articulate their feelings.

Practical Ideas for Intense Emotional Moments

Through simple exercises, children and adults try out strategies for situations where emotions are particularly intense. The impulses strengthen self-awareness, promote family communication, and create valuable shared time. Parents receive suggestions that can be directly applied to family life.

Child-Friendly Family Experience with Professional Background

The offering was developed by the research department of the University Hospital for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at EvKB and the Medical Faculty OWL. No prior knowledge is required. Children under ten years old participate with an adult. Thus, the Emotions Lab combines children's laughter, wonder, and learning fun with a sensitive look at child development, emotional health, and safety.

Conclusion: Becoming Curious About Emotions Together

The Emotions Lab provides families with a special afternoon full of discoveries, conversation starters, and practical experiences. Those who want to understand emotions better and learn new ways of dealing with anger, sadness, and joy as a family experience a warm and informative family event here.
