Social and Emotional Learning Made FUN with myHeartyKid

myHeartyKid is my passion project. It’s a practical program that makes social and emotional learning fun (S.E.L.F.) by teaching children to own their power.

In this unique program, young people are taught about self-esteem and how to talk about what’s inherently wonderful about themselves and others. This grows and strengthens their sense of personal worth – and their inner LIKE button. Children learn about intentions and affirmations, and how to turn their thoughts into dreams and their

dreams into a life they love.

myHeartyKid teaches about empathy and compassion, and helps every kid who suffers from fear, anxiety, depression, and/or low self-esteem, grow up feeling empowered, confident and loved.

myHeartyKid Teaches:

  • SELF-Awareness
  • SELF-Esteem
  • SELF-Confidence
  • SELF-Love

Use myHeartyKid to:

  • Help kids feel empowered, confident and loved.
  • Promote anti-bullying in and outside of the classroom.
  • Teach kids their words have power – and how to use them for good.
  • Help parents get to know their kids better.
  • Help kids develop BIG love for themselves.
  • Teach kids about the power of intention-setting and affirmations.
  • Help kids change their focus from fear to love with the help of my book, Pocket Full of Love.
  • Encourage the use of loving words

Pocket Full of Love book

Pocket Full of Love

Ella is a young girl with a powerful imagination. Sometimes her thoughts are filled with light, animals and magic. Other times, her thoughts go down a different path and she is filled with fear and anxiety. Ella grows scared to speak up in class or to try and make new friends. Many people call her shy and quiet, but Ella knows that she has so much to offer if she could only overcome her fears. Through her dreams, Ella finds the courage to show up with BIG love and watches her fear magically fade away.

Pocket Full of LOVE demonstrates how taking action and believing in and searching for beauty and kindness inside ourselves and out in the world can help us feel safe, confident and loved. The book also gives parents, teachers, guardians and counselors a jumping off point for discussions with children about how to navigate anxiety, fear and self-doubt.
