The Thinking

Six short pieces on why this program works the way it does. No theory for its own sake, and no lesson plans. Just the ideas underneath.

01

What a child can do with a feeling they can name

Precise words are not decoration. They are the machinery.

02

Why our cards have no words on them

Most feelings products teach children to decode a standard face. We do the opposite.

03

The only way to know what someone feels is to ask them

Not to read their face. Not to guess from outside.

04

Feelings are visitors

The sentence every child in this program hears in every lesson, and the chemistry underneath it.

05

Feelings and emotions are not the same thing

One is the body's signal. The other is the story we wrap around it.

06

Vocabulary is countable

This program is measured, not promised.
