Brain Gain

Grow Your Brain Stronger and Smarter!

This five video program teaches what it means to have a growth mindset and to apply these lessons in different ways for a variety of situations. Kids can go on this adventure to discover how to develop a growth mindset.

Healthy Growing

Choose Healthy Foods and Keep Your Body Clean!

Learn the importance of choosing healthy foods. Understand the difference between healthy food choices and unhealthy ones. Habits of cleanliness — called good hygiene habits — are important too.

Good Manners

Respect Is the Name of the Game!

Having, using, and practicing good manners are important skills in all situations — with parents, teachers, and friends. Knowing how to act appropriately and when politeness counts most is essential knowledge.

Getting Along With Others

Empathy, Kindness, and Boundaries

Learn the meaning of empathy and why it is important. Showing kindness is an important skill, so understanding ways to practice being kind is essential. Respecting others’ boundaries, as well as one’s own personal space, is key in getting along well with others.

Building Character, Confidence, and Self-Esteem

Strong character, having confidence in oneself and one’s abilities, and believing in oneself — known as self-esteem — are essential building blocks for young people.
