Every child has an inner glow.
Glow & Friends exists to support the conscious development of all of us, and especially of children.
It starts with the body
A racing heart. A tight chest. A tummy full of butterflies. Our bodies notice big feelings before our words do. When we learn to recognize these body clues, we can notice a big feeling visiting before it takes over our behavior.
That's why we created Glow, the calm, kind, curious part of every child, and the Feelings Friends who come to visit when feelings get big. They give those body clues a name and a face, so they're easier to notice, talk about and understand.
Connecting with your inner glow
Connecting with your inner glow helps you be more present and aware, and that awareness is where emotional intelligence grows. When we learn to calm our own nervous system, we can help the people around us feel calmer too. That's co-regulation, and it's one of the kindest gifts we can give the children in our lives.
What we believe
- No feeling is bad. Every friend has a job, even the loud ones.
- Notice, name, help it settle. A feeling that's been heard settles faster than one that's been told to stop.
- Grown-ups have feelings too. Children learn the most by watching us meet our own feelings kindly.
- You know your child best. Take what fits and leave the rest.
