Frequently Asked Questions

What age is Our Natural Feelings designed for?

While every child’s landscape is different, our system is specifically tailored for ages 4 to 12.

Children aged 4-7 require adult support, while those aged 8-12 require less support.

​

 

How much time does this take each day?

We designed this to fit into the natural rhythm of your day.

 

Morning Placement: 3–5 minutes to check their inner landscape and use any tools they may need to have a successful start to their day.

 

Evening Reflection: 5 minutes to check in on their feelings once more and notice any shifts they had, and a minute for a Sunbeam moment before bed.

 

What is a Compass Partner?

In the Our Natural Feelings system, we call the adults guiding the child a Compass Partner. Your job is to stay steady, observe the "natural feelings" with curiosity, and provide the tools your Explorer needs to find their own way back to Steady Ground.

​

What happens if we miss a day?

Nature doesn't grow in a straight line, and neither do we! If you miss a day, simply turn the page. The Monthly Landscape is designed to show progress over time, not perfection. 

 

Can I use this for multiple children?

While the Daily Rhythm can be discussed as a family, the log is designed to be a personal "workspace" for one child. This gives them a sense of ownership and a private place to archive their growth. 

​

Is this a "Behavior Chart"?

No. We don't use gold stars or smiley faces. Behavior charts often focus on external compliance; Our Natural Feelings focuses on internal regulation. We don't reward "Sunny Suns" or punish "Rumbly Clouds"—we simply learn how to navigate both.
