Jason Lackey
Is a Introverted Meerkat. Once, he shaved his head at home just to avoid small talk with the barber. He is MBTI certified, and his happy place consists of everything opposite of Kara's world: Netflix, naps, music, artsy fartsy things, drawing, cooking delicious food and an escape hatch for when life gets too crazy.

Our Lifework
Oh Hey! We're Jason & Kara Lackey....
We believe there is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society; the ability to know and love someone else - to accurately see another person, to help them feel valued, heard, and understood.
That's why we empower both adults and children with resources that deepen understanding within their relationships, leading to a greater sense of connection, well-being and emotional regulation IN A FUN WAY!
Certified Trauma Informed, SEL and Family Type Practitioner, BS
Certified Family Type Practioner, BA
Through the use of our interactive Animal Genius Quiz for Kids® and the Body Battery® skill-building curriculum, we help adults and kids create self-awareness and a common language to create meaningful conversations about their inner experiences and emotions.
We define temperment as a predisposition to how we respond to emotions. By understanding how each of us experience and process our emotions, we can tailor our approach to meet our kids' specific needs, fostering a stronger connection within the relationship. This allows our children to feel known, loved, and understood.
Our training and curriculum provides a unique bridge between educators, parents, and students that goes beyond the classroom. Not only is our focus on students but also school staff, caregivers, families, and the community, recognizing that supporting and empowering one means doing the same for all.
We absolutely LOVE teaming up with those who are stewarding the next generation of leaders. We invite you to get in touch if you're eager to collaborate, or if you'd like to share your experiences of how you're using the Know and Love quiz with your kids!

What works for one kid, may not work for another. What worked for your mom, 30 years ago, may not work today. Each kiddo has a unique brain, with a unique personality and even if they are parented the same, it doesn't mean the parenting techniques are effective for each kiddo.
How to know which techniques would be helpful or not helpful based on their child's unique personality.
How to communicate with your kiddo effectively.
How to connect with your kiddo in a way that they will feel loved.
A perspective on parenting that has proven to bring healing and understanding. If you came into parenthood with your own childhood baggage, you don't have to repeat the same harmful parenting patterns. We'll give you actual tools that will help you understand why you are the way you are and why your kid is the way they are.
How to work through conflict without WW3 starting in your living room.
Understand how your child gets their energy, takes in and processes information and makes decisions.
An understanding of yourself in the context of personality type, especially in relation to your child's personality type, and how these differences may affect how you each prefer to live and relate.
here's why...
So we teach adults:
"Why is it that kids can be raised in the same house, with the same rules, with the same parents and turn out totally different?"
FAQ's
Q: Are some personality types better than others?
A: No personality type is better than other types. Each personality type is unique with its own gifting and struggles.
Q: Has personality type theory been scientifically tested?
A: Personality type theory dates back to the early 1900's with psychologist Carl Jung. Since then there has been extensive research to prove its usefulness and accuracy. In fact, some people say “it’s scary how accurate it is.”
Q: Can I predict my child's behavior by knowing their personality?
A: Knowing your kiddo's type cannot predict behavior. All kids can freely choose to behavior in any manner regardless of the personality animal they identify with. We encourage parents to avoid labeling or telling a child "who" they are. These are only suggestions that may help parents understand their child's preferences.
Q: After learning about my child's personality preferences, I feel like a total failure. Is that normal?
A: We believe as parents, we are doing the best we can with the tools we have. There is no such thing as perfect parents. There is also no such thing as a parenting experts. We are all on the same journey of learning how to be parents at the exact same time our children are learning how to be a kids. Like Maya Angelou says, "do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better."
Q: Why does the child have to be 5 in order to know their personality?
A: Your kiddos personality type is still developing. The specific age of personality development has been subject to much debate, but it is believed that personality preferences can start to be identified between the ages of 5-7.
