Testimonials

"I noticed my son using mindful breathing techniques that neither my husband nor I had taught him. To see this application of self-regulation, away from school, was inspiring.” On the family event…“Not only did the event bring my family together in a unique way, but it introduced me to The Character Effect™ curriculum, awakening my understanding of its impact on my child." - Parent, Sands Montessori

"Making an intentional effort to focus on children’s strengths has had a positive impact on our school. In addition to better results in academics and behavior, our students have a general sense of happiness and the entire school is more relaxed. It has given us a positive way to look at our weeks, which have rolled into positive months and a positive year." - Assistant Superintendent, CCPA

"My experience with The Character Effect™ has been very positive. I think it helps to be mindful of strengths when working with students because it can be easy to become fixated on areas of growth a student needs, but it’s much easier to reach them if we are focused on their strengths." - Elementary School Teacher
