Oh Hey! I'm Kara Lackey....
We believe there is nothing more artistic than loving and understanding people - accurately seeing another person, and helping them feel known and loved.
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!
Through the use of our interactive Animal Genius Quiz for Kids® and the Body Battery® we created a skill-building curriculum to help adults and kids create self-awareness and a common language to create meaningful conversations about their inner experiences and emotions.
We define "personality" 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 curriculum "What Makes Me, Me" 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 Animal Genius Quiz® with your kids!
