Parents need support, too!
You’re always a beacon of light for your kids during difficult times, even when you could use some help yourself.
How do you support a tween with anxiety? How do you motivate a kid that doesn't want to do their homework? How do you help a child struggling to sleep at night? How do you help kids turn off their devices? How do you raise resilient, happy, inspired, thriving children?
As parents, we all have questions. So, we asked the experts! Not just any experts, but people at the forefront of their fields.
100 psychology and education experts have advice for parents.
We asked #1 NYT Bestselling Author Angela Duckworth how to raise gritty kids. We asked the world's expert on procrastination, Dr. Tim Pychyl, how to motivate kids. We asked actor and activist Howie Mandel about raising mentally well-adjusted kids.
And we didn't just ask... we drilled for answers and insights on a wide variety of topics such as self-regulation, coping with anxiety, motivation in school, sleeping well at night, and much more! We've conducted in-depth interviews with each of these experts and put together what we feel is the world's best library of advice on raising kids who thrive.
Your 3-Step Emotional Mastery Action Plan
To get the most out of these resources, we’ve found that watching the videos together and working through the worksheets with your kids is one of the best ways to start a meaningful conversation. And remember - this is just the beginning! Check your email for even more resources.

Gave me a fresh take on being a parent.
A colleague forwarded this event and I enrolled immediately. I thought there might be tips and tricks to help me in the classroom, especially with behavior students (kids which have a back story and a tough history). Funnily enough, I watched some speakers and not only became inspired by their words, work and wisdom but also gave me a fresh take on being a parent.

Brilliant and compassionate responses to share with my kids.
I am one of those moms out there trying to fill my tool bag with the most effective emotional tools to help my kids thrive and enjoy life. My motivation and persistence to keep learning how to help them grow well comes from my own emotional struggles. Your speakers are giving me brilliant and compassionate responses to heal myself and to share with my kids when the heaviness of perfectionism, approval addiction, mindset, expectations and even just their day to day squabbles can weigh down on us.

I don’t feel so alone on this journey of learning.
Renee, you are a wonderful host! Your questioning is so organic and done with such ease. You really listen and empathize with the speaker and with what is being said. I also love how you allow yourself to become vulnerable by sharing your feelings and experiences with your guest speakers and audience. With you as a host, I, as a listener, don’t feel so alone on this journey of learning. Your presence has made my experience with the summit so wonderful! Thank you for hosting, and for offering such a beneficial resource!

Meet Renee Jain
Founder and Chief Storyteller at GoZen!, NYT bestselling co-author of Superpowered, certified life coach, University of Pennsylvania MAPP graduate, resilience expert, co-host of the Dear Anxiety and Dear Anger podcasts, and mom of two.
Hi there! I’m Renee Jain.
As a kid, I used to be super anxious. It took me 10+ years and a visit to the ER for what I thought to be a heart attack in my 20s to realize that all my unprocessed feelings led my body to shut down.
Since then, I’ve studied every methodology of healing, yoga, meditation, tapping, and traditional psychology. But it wasn’t until I discovered positive psychology, the study of well-being, that I felt my purpose come to life.
My mission with GoZen! is to teach 1 million kids around the world how to become emotionally resilient. This is why we create science-backed resources and animated programs, giving kids (and their parents!) the emotional education I wish I had growing up.
So I am absolutely thrilled that you’re here!
Because no matter what kind of support you need, knowing you’re not alone in this often challenging journey can be life-changing.
And this first step you took just moments ago is only the beginning.
With all my love and gratitude,
Renee

This is the first program that has provided tools my children readily understand and use on their own.
As a parent of children who struggle with anxiety and a mental health clinician working with many clients who also struggle with anxiety, I have found GoZen! to be informed by empirical research, accessible to both children and adults, engaging and interesting and most importantly, effective.
The creators of GoZen! brilliantly combine likable, amusing characters whose struggles validate the experiences of many children, with the latest in brain science research on effective anxiety treatment.

Your programs and methods resonate more with me and my professional practices than any other program.
I have worked as a school social worker for the last three years and GoStrengths! is the best, most engaging, and most comprehensive SEL program I have found after months of research! Finding a program that covered all areas of social emotional learning as laid out by the collaborative for academic and social and emotional learning proved very difficult. GoStrengths! does it in a kid friendly and research based way!
