This guide covers

  1. 1. What she is learning, chapter by chapter
  2. 2. Talk-about-it questions for the car ride
  3. 3. Feelings words to practice at home
  4. 4. Chores, coins and saving jars
  5. 5. Printables & certificates

What she's practicing

  • • Naming feelings out loud
  • • Kindness & friendship skills
  • • Coins, saving jars & wants vs. needs
  • • Confidence through play and art

How to help at home

  • • Ask her to read you one page out loud — let her be the teacher.
  • • Pick one keepsake from her Glow Book each week and ask about it.
  • • Sessions run about 15–20 minute sessions — short and steady wins.
  • • Celebrate finished chapters out loud. Progress beats perfection.

Book applications: Notice · Try · Share

At the final chapter of each five-chapter book, she can make one small application project. The goal is to use all five ideas, not to make a perfect poster.

Example: a five-box picture story about a tricky school-day moment can show a feeling, a strength, a helper, and a kind next step.

A simple grown-up role

  1. Ask her to point to one idea she remembers from each chapter.
  2. Let her choose drawing, talking, acting it out, or writing short labels.
  3. Ask what one safe, small step she could try this week.

Feedback that helps

  • • Can she explain what each of the five parts does?
  • • Is the next step kind and safe?
  • • Did you notice effort, a specific strength, or a thoughtful choice?

Do not require a personal story. If a project names a worry that feels too big, pause the activity and help her reach a trusted adult.

A note for grown-ups
