Our stories shape our reality and the stories we read help shape those stories. Events in our life affect stress levels, feelings of control, self-esteem, self-efficacy, meaning, and judgment of ourselves and others. The stories we tell ourselves matter. The stories we tell our children matter. Positive Psychology is about naming and learning strategies for moving through life with a sense of purpose and fulfillment; moving from stuck to unstuck.  

 

There is power in teaching children that they can choose how their brain grows by what they practice and to understand that their brain is changing all the time, even in adulthood.  

 

Early social and emotional development is foundational for children’s health, education, wellbeing, success and adjustment to what life presents to them. 

 

Resiliency is a teachable mindset and skillset and provides us with a sense of personal mastery in our own life. We can control what we think, how we feel and what we do. Positive Psychology provides the tools we need to master those thoughts, feelings and actions.

 

Through empathy, intuition, knowledge and leadership, we can spread empowerment and tolerance so that individual’s live whole being lives that filter through future generations. To live a life moving forward, from where you are to where you want to be.  

 

Caregivers are a foundational part of the solution. We all want to belong and feel valued. The mission is to have Positive Psychology vernacular become a part of everyday conversation and to instil the concepts from a young age to permeate into human flourishing at an individual, societal and global level.
