Level 1 Song & Feeling Guide: A Read-Along Companion for Grown-Ups

The Level 1 Song & Feeling Guide is a practical read-along companion for grown-ups using the Hello Feeling songs with children.
 
Created by the Hello Feeling team in collaboration with Dr. Oberdan Marianetti, this guide helps parents, carers, teachers and counsellors understand the emotional journey inside each Level 1 song. Every song is designed to help a child notice a feeling, name it, settle the body, listen to what the feeling may be saying, and choose what to do next.
 
Across 48 songs, the guide follows the four Hello Feeling zones: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. Each song has its own page, with a clear explanation of the feeling, when it might show up, how the song supports the child, lyric touchstones to listen for, and a simple prompt to talk about together afterwards.
 
Inside, you’ll find:
a grown-up guide to all 48 Level 1 Hello Feeling songs
the four feeling zones explained clearly: Red, Blue, Green and Yellow
weekly song groupings across eight emotional-learning themes
simple explanations of each feeling and when it may appear
the Identify → Ground → Channel → Choose pathway for every song
lyric touchstones to help you listen with intention
talk-about-it prompts for parent-child, classroom or counselling conversations
a breathing and grounding toolkit
a reference guide for feelings that are easy to mix up
an A–Z feeling index
 
Use it in the car, at bedtime, in a classroom, in a calm-down corner, or after a hard moment. You do not need to teach it like a lesson. Press play, listen together, and let the guide help you turn the song into a small moment of understanding.
 
This is the ideal companion for grown-ups who want to use Hello Feeling more intentionally with children, one song and one feeling at a time.
