Proactive Connections materials were created as fun engaging activities for kids and adults to enjoy together to promote healthier, happier interactions. With these social and emotional and mindfulness-based tools, children and grown-ups are empowered to build stronger relationships and transform everyday challenges into opportunities.
Being proactive and preparing for times of parent-child separation can make a significant difference in curbing the drama that often occurs at drop-off time for day care, preschool, and summer camp. Yippie Yahoo, I’m Going to School is a children’s picture book that engages adults with their young children to approach this time as an opportunity for separation that feels supportive, rather than the typical distress or drama that may ensue at such times. Included in the book are tips for making the variety of day-to-day separations and goodbyes much easier.

My father, Charlie, was my everything.
He was silly and funny and kind, filled with an incredible joy for life. Tragically, he was taken from this world suddenly and unexpectedly in April 2015, but he lives on in my Keep Calm Kit™️.
It was my father who encouraged me to pursue this dream, offering me space in his office to work on building the kit when I didn’t have space at home.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, I spent what would be the last 8.5 months of his life building this kit alongside him. He was a crucial sounding board in helping me infuse this kit with his wisdom, joy, and immense pride in me, his little girl.
And so, the Keep Calm Kit™️ keeps my father’s memory alive, while helping so many children, parents, and educators navigate those tough behavioral moments.
"The Keep Calm Kit™️ has helped us talk about feelings and behaviors in a more productive way. It provided an opportunity to think through how we're going to react to certain situations and come up with a plan ahead of time for the 'in-the-moment' feelings."
