When big feelings lead to hitting, kicking, biting, or throwing, caregivers need practical guidance they can return to.
Safe Hands, Supported Feelings™ is a SoulCentements™ digital companion for caregivers and children approximately ages 3–7. It offers tools for preparing before difficult moments, responding when bodies become unsafe, and supporting recovery and repair afterward.
Rooted in Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez’s Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model, this companion brings together caring boundaries, emotional support, and small opportunities to practice safer actions.
Inside your companion:
-
Start Here: A family needs check, essential safety guidance, and a manageable first-week plan.

Caregiver Guide: Brief scripts, prevention strategies, support for recovery, and guidance for repairing harm.
