Our signature CHILD WELLBEING program
One of the best things we can do for children is help them develop a greater sense of self-confidence and resilience. Building these skills can feel daunting. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a program for educators and kids to provide a backed-by-science series of handbooks on positivity, mindset, and strengths. Each topic contributes to your ability to build resilience and enhance confidence. The series is designed for use in-classroom or to send home to parents, as a home-to-school resource. We are also available for in-person or virtual workshops for educators and/or parents!

We kick off the Constructing Confidence series with The Positivity Toolbox, based on the research of Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky. For this series, we have partnered with consultant Darri Stephens, MEd, learning experience designer, and former Common Sense Media Senior Director of Educational Content. Darri shares our passion for lifelong learning, and helping people achieve their full potential. Read more on how we each contribute to this key learning experience below.
A co-learning experience for educators and/or parents, and kids to build confidence and resilience through the science of positive psychology
The Positivity Toolbox
Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky identified 12 behaviors known to increase positivity. She is also the lead researcher behind the happiness formula. Research shows that positivity is a critical component to developing a growth mindset, and that positive emotions serve a real purpose. Benefits include better problem solving and decision making… life skills needed to develop confidence and resilience. Many people hold the misguided belief that our levels of happiness are entirely linked to our personality and life circumstances. The happiness formula shows that we have more control over our happiness than we think. While 50% is tied to our personality only 10% is impacted by life circumstances leaving 40% of our happiness is totally in our control. The 12 behaviors and corresponding activities in the toolbox will help you and your students enhance positivity and ultimately their flexible mindset, ingenuity, problem-solving productivity, resilience and confidence.
