Social Emotional Learning

Anti-Bullying

 

When I created Love Yourself More, I had to choose. Boring lecture about self-directed kindness and compassion? (Noooo!!) Or silly show about the same? (Yes!!) So let’s take 30 minutes to play a grand game of pretend. I promise to embarrass myself. We’ll all sing a song together. Maybe we’ll even scream!

 

Why? Because low self-esteem feels terrible and leads to depression, anxiety, acting out, substance abuse, bullying, poor academic performance, and other bad stuff. And because I want students to be happier, healthier, and more motivated in school and throughout life. I know you do, too. The solution is simple:

Love Yourself More!​

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q. Is Love Yourself More a research-based program?

A. Absolutely! As a nonfiction children's author since 2006, I've researched books about stress, bullying, how to make good choices, and many other topics related to mental health, character education, and social emotional learning. I've also written and researched multiple titles about sports and famous athletes, drawing connections that link sports psychology with mental and emotional wellness, resilience, and success. 

​

Q. How is the show entertaining for students? And how is it educational?

A. Love Yourself More isn't a presentation students listen to and observe quietly. The whole idea is to engage them every step of the way! Throughout the show, they're encouraged to answer questions, play pretend, sing along, and use their voices in a variety of different ways. The educational element is hidden within these exercises. When they answer questions about their mood, they're learning to connect with their emotions. When they play pretend, they're rehearsing a script they can use to speak up for themselves. And when they sing along, they're reinforcing the message that loving themselves is their superpower.

Q. Are you available for summer school visits as well as during the school year?
