Summer’s Here—Let’s Grow Through Big Emotions, Together
Dear CoCreator,
With summer just around the corner, many of us are shifting into a different rhythm. School’s out (or almost), routines relax, and we get just a little more time with the kids in our lives.
That makes now the perfect moment to deepen your emotional health practice. At Walden Wise, we believe the heart of CoCreating is intention—choosing to show up for kids with presence, care, and attention to their emotional lives.
Summer, with all its freedom and flexibility, offers space for the kind of connection that lingers.
That’s why we’re so excited to share our newest Walden Wise Practice Lab: Navigating Big Emotions — a practical, science-based interactive experience for helping kids (and ourselves) better understand and move through emotional highs and lows.
This Lab includes:
Heartfelt audio guidance from Dylan Gee, Ph.D.
Our CoCreator Emotional Health Check-up Quiz.
Interactive Big Emotion cards with guidance on how to recognize and talk about 12 big emotions.
Plus access to our interactive Practice Guide, Emotion Navigator: Empowering Kids Through Every Feeling filled with more big emotion audio stories from Dr. Gee and loads of activities to try with the kids you care about.
Whether it’s a moment of frustration during a family trip, or an unexpected joy during a quiet morning at home—this Lab helps you meet every emotion with empathy and skill.

As CoCreators, we know emotional growth doesn’t just happen—it’s something we nurture, moment by moment. So as summer begins, let’s make space for those moments. Let’s practice together. And let’s remember: even the smallest exchange—when met with care—can have a lasting positive impact.
We’re so glad to be in this with you.
with warmth and wonder,
The Walden Wise Team
