The article presents selected results of the author’s studies on the metaphorical description of emotions by six-year-old children. The studies show that the presentation of meaning through metaphors makes it easy for children to explain difficult concepts.

The article is an attempt to show a new perspective in logopedic therapy based on cognitive abilities, children’s imagination and their metaphorical skills. The presented suggestion addressed to therapy from the pragmatic angle only outlines the problem.
