There is no ‘if’ about whether children will face challenges, there’s only WHEN!
And WHEN they do, how will they respond?
Kids with a full umbrella of coping skills:
- respond with grit, resilience, and empathy.
- show kindness to others while still caring for themselves.
- are intrinsically motivated to reach their goals while practicing self-compassion when they fall short of their own expectations.
- actively practice mindfulness and gratitude.
- contribute to healthy families, schools, and communities.
A child’s umbrella is made up of things they CAN CONTROL in the face of circumstances that they CAN’T – and they need YOU to help them learn how to strengthen their umbrella skills!
We provide parents and educators with books, courses, workshops, curriculums, professional development, and more.
When you join the Umbrella Project as a parent or educator, you’ll learn how to help kids grow and trust their own umbrellas, support kids in proactively looking for challenges, and even get kids excited about testing their limits.
The Umbrella Effect is a way to keep the end goal in mind. It’s a way to put into perspective the meaning and purpose behind the seemingly difficult and hurtful times. To keep our own well-being in mind as critical to our children’s. To understand what our children need next to keep building on an umbrella of protection that will help them navigate life.”
