Courageous Kids is a passion project inspired by my two young children. I started writing social stories to present everyday situations to them in a relatable and familiar way, enabling them to approach the world, and its challenges, with confidence. These stories were so effective that friends started requesting I write for their children too. I realised that all children face similar emotional issues and that a little bit of preparation has a profound impact.
My mission is to empower parents and carers with an engaging and fun tool to help them explain social situations and the “rules” we take for granted to their children. Through extensive collaboration with a child psychologist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist and early educators, Courageous Kids was born.
