In a society undergoing rapid change, modern individuals are facing various stresses, and there's a noticeable increase in mental health treatments for children as well. For the psychological well-being of children, it's crucial to swiftly discern their emotional states. However, this proves challenging as young children often articulate their emotions using limited vocabulary. This paper aims to categorize children's psychological states into four emotions: depression, anxiety, loneliness, and aggression. We propose a method for constructing an emotion dictionary tailored for children based on assessments from child psychology experts.
