Social-Emotional Learning ACTIVITY KITS
Bringing peace into your home through social-emotional learning activity kits by teaching your kids (and whole family) how their brain works so they can take control of their lives using mindfulness.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re working hard to raise confident, resilient kids. You want to be a close-knit family, but tonight was spent fighting over dinner…again. The only vegetables in your house these days are baby carrots because everything else winds up in the garbage. You wonder why it always feels like a battleground in your home.
You’d give anything to spend time before bed talking about the day and the moments shaping your child, but instead, you notice his dry toothbrush, even though he promises he brushed his teeth, and the whining begins. It’s 10 minutes past bedtime, so you kiss his head, tell him you love him and walk away, deflated.
Tomorrow is a new day, you tell yourself as if something is magically going to change. As you lay in bed, you give yourself a well-deserved pep-talk as you scroll through your photos, desperate to find an Instagram-worthy moment. You find multiple, because you definitely have connected moments, but most times, you don’t even realize how sweet the moments were until they are long gone.
You’re doing your best. You love your kids. They love you; it’s just messy sometimes—a lot of times.
What if life didn’t have to be so stressful?
What if parenting could be easier and more connected? Today's culture has made parenting and growing up so much harder than it has to be. It doesn't have to be this hard. Imagine if you peeked through your windows and saw:
A house filled with confident, resilient kids who know the value they held within themselves.
Kids who are loving, respectful, kind and grateful. Kids who feel loved and appreciated.
Confident parents who can do what they need to do at the end of the day because their kids have the inner tools to do their homework by themselves!
A family who faces trials, just like everyone else, but are empowered to handle storms with confidence because YOU decided to give them the strong roots they need.
The Rooted Family Can Help
Our digital social-emotional learning activity kits directly impact well-being and academic outcomes by wiring brains for a lifetime of success, peace and empowered confidence. Kids and their families learn science-hacked, research-backed ways to mindfully weather anything life throws at them. We teach kids and families how their brains work, so they can make choices that lead to success, now and in the future. Everything we teach focuses on eight core strengths: courage, kindness, gratitude, respect, responsibility, resiliency, creativity and healthy living.
Our social-emotional learning kits aren’t based on a magical land of theoretical children. They have been road-tested by families like yours.
What Families Have to Say:
“I've noticed a huge change in how my son regulates his emotions. He tries to take a deep breath and slow down before he speaks, especially if he's been told something he doesn't like.”
"I love learning about how our brains work and how we can retrain them and form new habits. This made me feel like success is really possible in all aspects of life!"
“My children are able to regulate their emotions, solve conflict peacefully and are aware of themselves and others. I am grateful for the parent support so we can teach our entire family these methods."
What’S IN THE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING ACTIVITY KITS?
Our social-emotional learning activity kits are digital family-centered products.
The content in each kit is designed to last a month. It is instantly downloadable and easily implemented into the everyday moments in your family. There is no fluff or fillers here. You won’t find page after page of coloring sheets or posters. Everything in these kits was carefully crafted to make a genuine difference in your child and in your family.
Here's exactly what comes in each social-emotional learning activity kit…
Brain-splain: The skim-to-win, one-page, bite-size overview of what the kit’s topic is why it’s so important for building your child’s brain. When you’re done reading this page, you’ll know where you’ll be headed this month and why.
Inhale+Exhale: A mindful breathing activity for the whole family. Meditation doesn’t have to be boring. Visions of holding down your kids on a pillow and forcing them into a meditation pose? Think again! These breathing activities align with the kit’s theme and will help your kids learn how to manage their emotions while increasing focus and cognitive abilities. You’ll want to do these with your kids, and they will want to do these with you.
Brain Boost: We all need brain boosts that spark focus, creativity and family bonding in fast, engaging ways! No one will mind putting down the screen. Each kit includes a game that will have everyone in the family up and moving, increasing learning and essential social-emotional and mindful skills. Get ready to build brains in fun, new ways!
Journals: Have children of multiple ages in your home? Feel like you could use some help with focusing and training your brain too? We’ve got you covered. You’ll get four sets of weekly printable journals (preschool, little kid, big kid and teen/adult) tied to the kit’s theme to help your family grow and bond.
Let’s Talk About It: Tired of asking what your kids feel and think and getting the cold, shrugged shoulder? A set of 12 conversation starters specifically built around the kit’s theme will help you get deeper than “how was your day” and help open the family communication.
Parent Coaching Chart or Game: A little extra to help you feel confident in helping your child (and the whole family) start to process life mindfully. Sometimes it’s a printable chart, sometimes it’s an extra activity or game, sometimes it’s a parenting resource.
Videos: Two short, fun videos - one for you and one for the kids to help explain what’s happening in the brain and how they have the power to make choices that benefit their mental and physical well-being.
These social-emotional learning activity kits won’t make your kids magically gobble down their vegetables, go to bed like angels each night or suddenly get straight A’s on their report card. Even more importantly, they will build skills necessary to be able to be comfortable being uncomfortable, transition through frustration and will increase social skills immediately impacting their relationships at home and at school. In fact, the level of social and emotional awareness and the ability to use self-regulation skills effectively is the biggest indicator of success in later life.
These skills will turn kids into adults who can handle pressure. And I can promise you that teaching your child how to adjust their mindset will show up in academic wins more than any math tutor could!
A bit about me…
Hi, I'm Erin. I'm a teacher with a masters degree in education, a certified brain health and life coach and a yoga instructor. I’ve taught thousands of kiddos, and Grow Strong Roots, the curriculum I built, was molded by my time with each one of them.
In a sea of medical professionals, I was the only teacher working towards their brain health coach certification. My passion is studying and teaching all about our amazing brains and how we really can give them a boost with the proper mindset!
I teach classrooms full of kids my curriculum and equip them with growth mindset tools to increase academic potential, self-awareness and resiliency. Parents and teachers rave at the fact that their students are learning about their brains and how to take control of their emotions and responses to stress. (And kids' lives are full of stress these days!)
I love going into schools, but putting my social-emotional curriculum into the hands of families everywhere, setting a trajectory of well-being, success and contentment across the globe? That’s my life purpose.
FAQ’s
What age-group is this for? Most of our printable worksheets are designed for preschool through elementary age kiddos, but you're not limited to that age-range, by any means. If you have children in multiple age groups, you're going to take what you learn and infuse it in your older kid's lives, too. Plus, if you have older children, the weekly journals will make a big impact on weaving social-emotional, mindful learning into your whole family.
My child has a diagnosis. Will this work for me? 100% yes. What we’re going to teach you is how to boost their brain in courage, kindness, respect, responsibility, gratitude, creativity, growth mindset and healthy lifestyle. No matter your child’s diagnosis or where their current mindset is, the life skills you’re going to teach them will impact their overall well-being, contentment and future success. Not only that, it will do the same for you, which will be pretty life-altering.
How much time will I need to devote each month? The content and activities will not add more to your plate, it’s just going to make the moments you have more intentional. You’ll get a little nugget each month to focus on and tools and activities to deepen your knowledge on the topic. Over time, as you rewire your brain, you’ll see the changes you’ve made take root and flourish. We’re helping you change your mindset and giving you tools to help your kids change theirs.
How is the content delivered? Our programming is all digital. Your school will provide details on how you will be able to access and download it.
Can I share the content I get with my friends? We would love for you to share how much you love this program with your friends and family, but each purchase is licensed for one family and can only be used with the immediate family or caregiver. If your family is in a dual house situation, you can of course share it with both houses.
Can I purchase these in bulk for my school? We have a Home/School Connection program specifically for this purpose! Check it out and let us know if you have any questions!
