Self-awareness
IMPORTANT CLARITY
“Mood diagnostics” is not a medical test.
It should NOT involve:
- body samples
- hair
- physical measurements
- diagnosis of health conditions
Instead, it is:
a personal reflection tool to understand emotions, especially during puberty when feelings change more strongly
WHY PUBERTY IS DIFFERENT
During puberty
WHAT MOOD DIAGNOSTICS REALLY MEANS (TEEN VERSION)
It means checking:
- how I feel today
- what might be affecting my mood
- how I can respond in a healthy way
- what support or rest I might need
SAFE MOOD CHECK METHODS (OLDER CHILD / TEEN VERSION)
1. FEELING LABELS
Emotional intelligence
Examples:
- I feel stressed
- I feel calm
- I feel overwhelmed
- I feel confident
- I feel low energy
2. PATTERN CHECK
- Have I been sleeping well?
- Am I eating properly?
- Am I under pressure?
- Am I spending too much time on stress?
3. REFLECTION CHECK
- What triggered my mood?
- Did something happen today?
- Do I need space, rest, or help?
