Many teachers face challenges with disengaged students and disruptive behavior, often because children struggle to understand and manage their emotions. Without the right tools, they may find it difficult to connect with peers and fit into the classroom environment.
I'm Lis, and I deeply understand these struggles. That's why I'm committed to creating resources that help kids learn emotional regulation, build resilience, and foster kindness in themselves and others. My goal is to empower students with lifelong skills for handling big emotions and nurturing positive relationships. Read more about me and my why HERE!
