The Grow Happy Project makes printable, research-based workbooks that Australian kids and their grown-ups do together.
Why we exist
We wanted honest, evidence-based resources for kids' big feelings, made for real Australian family life. Too many products promise to transform children overnight, or call themselves "science-backed" without showing the science. We do the opposite: small skills, practised together, with the research printed at the back of every workbook.
How every workbook is made
Every activity starts in the research. We draw on published studies of how children learn feeling skills, then turn them into short, illustrated sessions that fit a busy week: ten to twenty minutes, twice a week, with a small thing to try at dinner, in the car or at the beach.
Why the Starter Workbook is free
We want every family to be able to start. The Starter Workbook is free and always will be. Optional tips and our paid kits keep the project going and fund the next free workbook.
