Help your child go from socially clueless and challenged to self-aware and confident in social situations.
Does your child...
- Have a reputation for being 'shy?'
- Struggle with emotional regulation?
- Not know how to initiate or join conversations with peers?
- Integrate into group settings, but it doesn't last long?
- Spend recess or lunchtime alone or with adults?
- Have a reputation for being annoying, or 'too much?'
- Struggle to maintain friendships?
- Get along with peers but doesn't have authentic friends?
Does your kid come home and say things like "I don't have any friends" or "The kids at school say I'm annoying?"
You want your child to feel less anxious about social situations. You want to understand how to help your child succeed socially. And you want your child to know how to talk to other kids.
We want that for your child too!
That's why we took the most essential and foundational eight weeks of our year-long program and made it into an online course that you and your child can work through together!
Our goal is for your child to become socially competent, confident, and connected. We want your child to become more self-aware, learn to make intentional decisions, and how to give and receive feedback.
Your child will decide what their reputation will be, learn what to do (and not do) to create that reputation, and practice giving and receiving social feedback.
By working through this module together, parents can learn alongside their kids and become aware of the language they can use to support their kids.

Starfish has helped him so much!!
He is more aware of appropriate talk around certain age groups and understanding that he needs to do what others like, not just what he wants to do. I am so blessed to have found you for both the leaps and bounds that [my son] is maturing and understanding, and also for myself - I’ve learned what to say, do, and what to not battle him on.
