If you’ve ever wondered why your child’s emotions seem bigger or harder to manage than other kids', and why nothing you try seems to help...
...you’re not failing. You’re missing information about how your child experiences emotions.
This quiz was created to help you understand your child more clearly and know exactly what to do when emotions run high.
Hi! I'm Taes (Tess)
After working directly with thousands of children and families, I kept seeing the same pattern: caring adults doing everything they could, yet still feeling unsure of how to respond during emotional moments.
I began paying close attention to patterns: what overwhelmed children, what helped them settle, and what they needed most when feelings get big.
Over time, one thing became clear: different children need different kinds of support.
That’s what the Heart Types are. They’re a simple (fun!) way to understand how your child experiences emotions and what helps them regulate.
All children fall into one of five Heart Types. Each Heart Type reflects a different emotional response pattern.
When you understand your child’s Heart Type, you’re no longer left guessing in the middle of a meltdown. You know how to show up in ways that actually help!
"I thought my daughter was being dramatic. Learning her Heart Type helped me see she experiences feelings deeply and fast. Once I learned how to support her nervous system, our whole dynamic shifted. We feel closer and I feel more confident as her mom"
-Jenn Kerr, Big Heart Mom
