What is FocusedKids?

FocusedKids is a brain empowerment program designed for both classroom and home use.

It educates children, parents, and teachers about the developing brain and teaches brain-based social emotional skills. It does this by focusing on the importance of:

• Brain Education
• Safe Relationships
• Co-Regulation
• Self-Regulation
• Mindfulness
• Engaging Tools
• Personal Growth

Recent studies indicate that the kind of social emotional skills the FocusedKids Method teaches are crucial for developing a range of important abilities, including prosocial behavior, academic habits, and general life skills.

A distinguishing feature of the program is the utilization of the “calm down basket” in both the classroom and home settings. This basket contains various tools that assist children in calming down and directing their attention whenever needed, without causing distractions for others. You can see the contents of a calm down basket pictured below.

Overall, the FocusedKids Method greatly aids in fostering the development of vital self-regulation skills and thriving human beings.
