OUR CHILDREN NEED SUPPORT, TOO!
I started my healing journey in my mid 40’s. I always say, if I had only known these things earlier, what a difference it would have made in my life, and in the life of my own children.
As a mother, grandmother, and teacher, I have seen first hand how our children struggle with their emotions.
Can you imagine giving them the gift of learning how to regulate their emotions? How to find their peace within themselves? How to navigate life and all of the obstacles that come along the way?
What a different world we would be living in if WE learned these things when we were younger.
Do you have a child who struggles with their emotions, or know of a family that could use support?
As a mother and grandmother, I lived the experience of having a child and a grandchild who struggled with mental health and trauma. At the time, these things were barely spoken about, so I did not know how to help them. I tried literally everything I could think of (talk about mama bear mode!)
When I couldn’t get them the support they needed, I turned to my background and experience in education and decided to create my own program.
It is my dream to be able to help other families that have similar struggles to my own.
6 years later, it is FINALLY coming to fruition.
Welcome to the I Am Growing Happy! children’s mindset program!
I have authored 6 books, created the I Am Growing ‘Appy app (which houses the entire program!), plushies,
and BRAND NEW parent and teacher curriculum guides complete with activities!
I am so excited to be launching this program!
I have two upcoming in person events to introduce the program to all of you! I would love for you to come on out and see me!
(If you are not local, please reach out! I would love to support you.)
Join me at my vendor table at the Summer Solstice Magic Moon Market

AND/OR
Join me July 18th at noon on South Street in Philadelphia!
I am honored to be invited to be a part of Social Impact Studios Pop Up RetroActive 30 Year Anniversary Event! I would absolutely love to see you there!
“Join Social Impact Studios in welcoming Laura Smith for an afternoon of book readings and calming activities for the whole family at their 30-year retrospective pop-up.
Laura is the creator of "I Am Growing Happy," programs designed to support children and adults through everyday challenges - emotional, social, and beyond. At this in-person event, Laura will read from her Children's Mindset Collection books, lead calming activities for children, and discuss available comprehensive programs she's developed as a certified teacher.”
I would be so honored to see you at either (or BOTH!) of these events. If you have any questions, please reach out.
Hope to see you there!
