The Five Planet Journey — Parent & Teacher Guide

Every Child Carries All Five Planets Within Them

Roland Y. Kim, Ph.D.

About This Book

This companion guide helps adults understand the developmental meaning behind the five story worlds and use the series as a practical emotional-learning resource. Its central idea is that every child carries all five planets within them; healthy development is not about permanently reaching one “best” planet.

What You’ll Explore

The five developmental worlds of safety, independence, responsibility, choice, and empathy; how to recognize the needs represented by each planet; ways parents and teachers can respond developmentally; and how children can gradually integrate capacities from all five stages rather than abandoning earlier ones.

Who This Book Is For

For parents, teachers, counselors, and other adults who want to use The Five Planet Journey intentionally as a developmental and emotional-learning framework with children.
