Growing Hearts

Do you ever have BIG feelings? We all do!

Created by a licensed therapist specializing in maternal and child mental health.

Growing Hearts helps children understand their emotions and learn healthy ways to respond to them. Big feelings are part of being human-and learning how to recognize, express, and calm those feelings are skills that last a lifetime.

Inside this workbook, children will discover kind words, care tools, and simple activities designed to help them pause, reflect, and make thoughtful choices. As children practice speaking kindly to themselves and caring for their hearts and minds, they begin to grow stronger from the inside out.

Inside you'll find:

• Simple tools for handling big feelings

• Kind words children can say to themselves

• Engaging activities that build emotional awareness

• Gentle guidance for caregivers supporting children

For caregivers, parents, teachers, and counselors, Growing Hearts offers supportive language and practical tools to help children navigate big feelings with confidence, compassion, and resilience-and perhaps even a gentle reminder of what helps you, too.
