Little Hero

What it looks like in a little one: Spontaneous giggles, wanting to show you a small treasure they found, dancing or skipping for no obvious reason, wanting to share their good news right away.

Say this to celebrate it: "Look at that glow on you! Your joy is welcome here — let it shine as big as it wants to."

When joy shows up, help your Little Hero grow it bigger with this breath, timed to the circle below.

breathe

Breathe in slow... let it fill you from your toes up to your head... and breathe out with a smile.

"Joy is a choice. I look for the good, and I keep my rhythm alive."

For You, Mama/Papa

Before you celebrate their joy, let them catch you enjoying something small too. Say it out loud: "That made me so happy — did you see my smile?" Kids learn that joy is safe to show by watching you show yours first.

Type your Little Hero's name, then tap the button to celebrate.
