Our Story

Creating a world where kids grow up in a supportive, caring environment

Hi there, I'm Anne! I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and created Calm and Joyful Kids with the mission of helping families nurture self-directed, resilient, well-mannered, and confident children. Our products have been used by over 50,000 parents and educators worldwide.

Our Mission

Calm and Joyful Kids empowers educators and families with no-prep tools that nurture emotional intelligence and foster genuine connections. We aim to ensure every child feels understood, supported, and connected.

Some materials can feel heavy and daunting. It's easy to have a few good days, become overwhelmed, and then shelve everything. Our tools are easy to use and implement into any routine for consistency and progress.

Our Values


🩷   No prep: Our resources are no-prep and easily incorporated into your daily routine. Immediately use them at home or in the classroom. No assembly is needed.

⭐️   Can be used independently: Our products are diverse and can be used independently, in groups, or with assistance from educators.

🖥️   Screen-free: We're here to build quality time away from distracting screens.

⚡️   Effective and practical: Emotions are difficult to manage. Empower students with vocabulary and resources to put into practice instantly. Develop emotional regulation, stronger emotional intelligence, and build confidence.
