“I want to express my feelings!”
-Sensory Expression Dictionary for Children

As children grow, they experience a variety of sensations.
We taste different flavors with our mouths and smell new smells with our noses.
Touch unfamiliar objects with your hands, see new landscapes with your eyes, and hear unfamiliar sounds with your ears.
Feel the world with your whole body.
Experiencing new sensations is nothing other than growing up.
However, it is not easy for children to accurately identify their feelings and express them in words or writing.
