Written by a parent, not a textbook.
I'm the parent behind Big Feelings Toolkit — not a therapist, not a brand, just someone raising kids with a lot of big feelings in the house and trying to do it gently. Every script and card here started as something I actually said, out loud, in a hard moment, then wrote down because it worked.
The toolkit is built on real emotion coaching research, but written the way parenting actually sounds — a little messy, a lot of trial and error, and no pretending it's easy.
