Whispers from the sacred heart
”Whispers from the sacred heart” is a Different Kind of Children's Card Deck
Rather than asking children to replace difficult emotions with positive thoughts, each card begins with a gentle, reassuring message that acknowledges their experience and helps them feel seen, understood and accepted.
From there, children are invited to explore their emotions through a simple explanation, thoughtful reflection and practical ideas they can use in everyday life.
Each card has been carefully created to support emotional understanding, self-compassion and resilience—without pressure, judgement or expectations.
The aim isn't to change who children are.
It's to help them understand themselves with kindness.
Developed Over Five Years
Whispers From the Secret Heart wasn't created in a few weeks or months.
It grew slowly over five years, with every sentence, every illustration and every activity being revisited many times to ensure the deck remained gentle, inclusive and emotionally supportive.
Particular care was taken when choosing the language used throughout the cards. Each message was carefully refined to support children with a wide range of emotional experiences and communication styles, while also considering the needs of neurodivergent children, including autistic children, children with ADHD and those with a PDA profile.
40 Gentle Emotional Support Cards to Help Children Understand Big Feelings, Build Confidence and Find Calm.
Thoughtfully created for parents, educators, counsellors and therapists supporting children aged 6–12.
