“Use your words” is sometimes easier said than done. Founded by Austin mom Tara Miko Ballentine, this fleet of thoughtful print and digital products were designed to help kids articulate the big feelings they’re having and build confidence along the way. Bright Littles’ offerings included journals focused on personal safety, healthy online habits, and civic leadership; digital courses and printable digests on topics like anxiety; and a “Conversation Club” with daily prompts to navigate challenging conversations. Ballentine sadly shuttered her small business this summer, citing tough economic times, but we laud her for her effort, and look forward to wherever she puts her talents next.
