Big Heart

Friendship tools for others.

Big Heart is the pillar of friendship tools: repair after conflict, include someone new, notice how a friend feels, share what you feel. Techniques that extend a regulated, thinking child outward into the people around them. For 5–6 year olds, Big Heart tools are what Strong and Smart make possible — they need a steady body and a working mind before they can reach for someone else in a way that lasts.

Patches for this pillar are still being authored. The pillar will fill in as Season 1 episodes release.

Practice at home

Every episode ships with a parent bridge — a short script to say after the first watch that invites the child to try the tool in a calm moment. Say it warmly. Practice once together before the tool is needed. Repeat across the week. That's how a tool becomes a habit.
