The Core Purpose...
To provide parents and children social-emotional support for all the moments life has to offer, and to teach them both how to use their big voice in a way that sets a boundary without putting others down.
- For parents: To create a community where parents feel safe, supported and validated knowing that parenting is difficult.
- For children: To teach children about emotions, how to express them in a way that is safe for their bodies and those around them, and how to use their “big” voice.
