“To see my whole class so engaged and using words like neurons, serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, cortisol, amygdala and prefrontal cortex, while working together to solve math problems from the story was so cool.”
— Mrs. Adler, 3rd Grade Teacher
Read More“Students learned how gratitude works in their brains and why it is important to focus on gratitude. By the end of the lesson, the kids had “become the brain” and acted out the roles of neurons and neurotransmitters. I learned lots of new things too! To see kids understand how to boost their brains for higher learning and happiness was pretty cool!”
— Megan, 2nd Grade Teacher
Read MoreI couldn’t have asked for a better program. Being in the field myself, I work with so many teachers who blame kids for their behaviors and use shame to modify behavior. My child has a hard time understanding how his sensory integration issues impact his behavior. Until he experienced Grow Strong Roots, he begged my daily to stay home and didn’t want to go to school. I was super concerned about how his self-esteem was being impacted. Grow Strong Roots has helped to restructure how he sees himself, his potential, and how he interacts with others.”
— Sarah, Mom & Teacher

Grow Strong Roots uses mindful practices to help students with self-control and self-confidence and it has been a great addition in helping us educate the whole child.”
