Every child has an inner glow. When big feelings show up, they can make it hard to see. The Feelings Friends give those feelings a name and a face, so your child can notice what's happening inside.
No feeling is bad, and every friend has a job, even the loud ones.
Glow, the inner glow
Always there, even when big feelings make it hard to see.
Breezy, the breath helper
Lives in your child's breath, and helps every other friend settle.
Blaze, the alarm
Shows up as a hot face, tight fists and a big “NO!”
Wonder, the thinker
Shows up as a busy head full of “what ifs.”
Thump, the heartbeat
Shows up as a racing, pounding heart.
Squeezie, the tight chest
Shows up as a tight chest and small breaths.
Flutter, the tummy
Shows up as butterflies in the tummy.
Shaky, the trembles
Shows up as trembling hands and a wobbly voice.
Wiggly, the busy body
Shows up as bouncy legs and a body that can't sit still.
Freezy, the still one
Shows up as a very still, very quiet body.
