Articles on Childhood, Connection & Wholeness
A space to explore the unfolding world of children—with curiosity, compassion, and community.
The Heart of the Child Circle is a growing collection of articles focused on the developmental, emotional, and spiritual lives of children. Rooted in child-led learning, somatic awareness, and village-based parenting wisdom, these writings honor childhood as a sacred, embodied journey.
Each article invites you to look beneath behavior and into the heart of what a child is expressing—offering insight into their nervous system, relational needs, creativity, and sense of self.
Topics explore:
Emotional literacy and self-regulation in children
Developmental rhythms and nervous system insight
Somatic play, movement, and sensory exploration
Healing inherited patterns in how we see and respond to children
Supporting autonomy, imagination, and relational safety
At the end of each article, you’ll find reflective questions and prompts—offered as a way for members to share their thoughts, insights, or lived experiences.
This is not about fixing children—it’s about remembering how to truly see them. And in doing so, we remember parts of ourselves.
