At Walden Wise, we see CoCreating as the intentional and consistent practice of attending to the emotional health of kids. Through every CoCreator, we see your commitment to a personal practice as a powerful lever that will spark a total re-imagination of how we shape our lives with kids.

Holding tight to our shared vision of a world where we prioritize the emotional lives of children, we can all experience more joy and connection as we explore what works for kids.

We spoke with several of our Scientific Advisors, and they shared their vision for a world where we prioritize the emotional health of kids. 

What does it look like if we create a world where we prioritize the emotional health of kids?

We invite you to take a moment and reflect on your own vision.

What’s included in your vision and what can you do to make it real? Being in connection with other supportive and inquiring CoCreators is an important part of achieving our shared vision. 

Tell us about your vision by sending us an email in the Contact Form below and we’ll compile and share ideas with the community (anonymously).

Practice as a powerful lever.

As you grow your consistent practice to attend to the emotional health of the kids in your life, what will you be focusing on today?

To support your practice, here is a wonderful activity for you to enjoy with a child in your life. Lisa Flook, Ph.D guides us through a beautiful and simple emotional awareness process.

CoCreator Reminder: what do we mean by emotional health?
