Glow & Friends Parent Guide

Your child's body notices big feelings before their words do.

A racing heart. A tight chest. A tummy full of butterflies. Long before a child can say “I'm nervous,” their body is already telling them. The Glow & Friends Parent Guide gives those body clues a name and a face, so your child can notice what's happening inside, and you can help early, before a feeling gets too big.

No feeling is bad. Every friend has a job, even the loud ones.

What's inside (31 pages)
