My Wise Heart

Every child has a Wise Heart

My Wise Heart is a gentle, hands-on guide that helps children aged 7-12 understand big feelings, set healthy boundaries, find their safe people, and treat themselves with kindness.

Through warm illustrations and simple activity pages, children meet a group of friends (and one very happy golden doodle) as they explore:

• Heart Stars: discovering the qualities that matter most to them
• Stormy Feelings: understanding worry, sadness, anger, and fear, and knowing that all feelings are okay
• Safe People: recognizing the people who help them feel loved, heard, and supported
• Boundaries: learning that it's okay to say "no," take space, and protect their heart
• Brave Moments, Calm Tools, and Growing: building courage, finding calm, and learning from mistakes

Each topic pairs a friendly explanation with an activity page to draw, write, and reflect on. The book ends with My Wise Heart Promise, a reminder children can come back to again and again.

Inside you'll also find:

• A Note for Grown-Ups with tips for supporting children through big feelings
• A QR code to download free printable activity pages, so children can revisit their favorites anytime

Perfect for home, the classroom, counseling sessions, or quiet moments together.
