Today's Feelings

Today’s Feelings is an additional step to Routines that gives everyone, but especially kids, a space to reflect on their emotions with daily check-ins. Help your family build lifelong emotional habits with simple daily check-ins that give kids space to reflect, express, and grow. Kids can select from emoji-based feelings (like 🥳 Excited or 😌 Calm) right on your Hearth Display or in the app. This feature also provides parents with a clear way to track the feelings their kids are experiencing via the “Insights” page on the mobile app. This is an optional tool providing a different way to connect with your family, and this can be toggled on or off in the app.

How do I select the feelings available for each family member?

1. Open the Hearth companion app and tap Routines.
2. If you haven’t already, create a Routine for each member of your family
3. Tap the settings icon in the top right corner of the Routine tab.
