The Healthy Heroes(TM) and the Heavy-Heart Feeling helps children understand guilt in a gentle, non-shaming way and learn how to make things right with care and compassion.
Sometimes children feel bad about something they said or did-or something they wish they had done differently. This heavy-heart feeling can feel confusing and uncomfortable. Through calm guidance from the Healthy Heroes(TM), children learn that guilt isn't there to punish them-it's there to help them learn, repair, and grow.
With warm illustrations and simple, reassuring language, this book teaches children:
- That guilt is a feeling, not who they are
- How to tell the truth and take responsibility safely
- That making a repair can help guilt feel lighter
- That everyone makes mistakes
- How to practice self-forgiveness after trying again
Created by a licensed family therapist, this story supports emotional responsibility, resilience, and healthy moral development at home, in classrooms, and in therapeutic settings.
Perfect for children ages 4-8, this book is part of the Healthy Heroes(TM) emotional series-helping kids navigate big feelings with honesty, connection, and compassion.
