Hold The Stick Hear The Heart- SEL with TA

Описание: A gentle folk SEL song rooted in Transactional Analysis (TA). “Pass the Stick, Hear the Heart” teaches turn‑taking, emotional naming, and the Talking‑Stick ritual using Thinking, Helping, and Heart Voices.

“Pass the Stick, Hear the Heart” is a soft folk SEL song grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA) and designed for classrooms, counseling circles, and family listening. The song teaches children how to speak with clarity, choose between their Thinking, Helping, and Heart Voices, and participate in a Talking‑Stick circle with a central Listening Bowl.

The acoustic folk style supports regulation and emotional safety, while the lyrics model I‑messages, turn‑taking, and respectful listening. Ideal for educators, TA practitioners, and anyone building structured SEL routines, restorative circles, or communication skills.
