Moxie for Kids

Moxie for Kids Children spend their days learning academic skills—but many moments that shape social-emotional development happen after the school day ends.

Moxie helps turn these moments into opportunities for growth. Follow along for insight on raising resilient kids.

Education and mental health are often discussed as separate systems—but for children, they work hand-in-hand. The experiences kids have at home influence how they arrive at school 🎒 The experiences they have at school influence what happens at home 🏡

Research from the EASEL Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education highlights the importance of supporting children's social and emotional development across both environments, providing them repeated opportunities to build and apply these skills over time. 🫶🏽 Helping families participate in that process strengthens the work already happening in classrooms.

Moxie is preparing to pilot with a select group of schools, districts, and community organizations. If you'd like to become a founding pilot partner, send us a DM!

One of the biggest misconceptions about emotional skill-building is that it requires large blocks of time.

💡 Research suggests otherwise.

In a Harvard-affiliated SEL study, short evidence-based practices averaging 7–11 minutes produced measurable gains across every social-emotional domain studied.

The strongest improvements were seen in children who needed support most. That research shaped how Moxie was designed.

Families may need more hours in the day—but not in order to fit Moxie in 💪

Consistency in self-regulation requires practice—children develop their capacity to self-regulate through repeated interactions with trusted adults who help them move through stress, disappointment, conflict, and overwhelm ✨

Research on executive function from Harvard's EASEL Lab shows these foundational skills grow rapidly in early childhood, and support everything from emotional regulation to learning and wellbeing 📚

The way adults respond during difficult moments becomes part of how children learn to respond themselves—one of many reasons parent-child interaction matters so much.

Moxie is built around that relationship.

🎒 When people think about academic success, they often focus on curriculum, instruction, and learning support.

While those are critical, social-emotional development matters, too.

Research from Harvard’s EASEL Lab shows that skills like emotional regulation, focus, persistence, and self-control are deeply connected to how children learn.

A child’s ability to recover after frustration or stay engaged when something feels difficult shapes what happens next in the classroom 💪🏽

🏡 Moxie helps families build these skills at home through short, research-backed experiences designed for everyday life.

Over the past decade, schools have made enormous investments in social-emotional learning 💰

💡 At the same time, research consistently points to something else: Children's social-emotional development happens across environments, relationships, and experiences—not within a single setting.

🎒 Schools play a critical role—but so do families.

The challenge isn't in deciding which matters more, it's in figuring out how they work together. The hours between home and school is the space Moxie is built for 💪🏽 🏡

When researchers talk about social-emotional development, they often focus on caregiver-child relationships. For good reason! ☝🏻

Kids build emotional skills through repeated interactions with the people they trust most. Over time, they learn what frustration looks like, how disagreements are handled, how people recover from mistakes, and how relationships can repair after conflict.

Those lessons aren't usually planned—they're embedded in daily life. Moxie is built to be a parent's steady guide through it ⚓

How do children learn emotional skills? 🤔

📚 Research from Harvard's EASEL Lab suggests the answer has less to do with when a lesson is delivered and more to do with how often a skill is used.

In a review of social-emotional learning practices, researchers found that brief, targeted activities can be effective when they are embedded into everyday experiences and reinforced over time.

💡 That finding shifts the conversation.

Emotional development isn't confined to a dedicated block of instruction. It unfolds across the interactions, routines, and relationships that make up a child's day.

For families, this creates an opportunity! The hours after school are already full of experiences that help children develop self-awareness, empathy, emotional regulation, and resilience. What's often missing is the guidance that helps parents recognize those opportunities and build on them intentionally.

🫶 Moxie is designed for that reality, translating research into short, parent-led experiences that fit naturally into family life.

Researchers followed children from kindergarten into adulthood and found that social-emotional skills measured at age five predicted a range of outcomes nearly two decades later—from education to employment to mental health.

It's a remarkable finding that highlights something important: Social-emotional development can't be separated from long-term success, happiness, and well-being. Rather, it's the very foundation for it.

For families, that foundation is built long before anyone is talking about college, careers, or adulthood—and it develops through relationships, repetition, and everyday experiences.

🔔 Social-emotional learning has largely been built into the school day—and schools have done important work in this area.

But research from the EASEL Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education points to something broader: Children’s emotional development is shaped significantly through their interactions with caregivers, especially in the early years. That work continues outside the classroom.

There’s a gap between what schools can provide and what children experience at home—especially in the hours after school ⚽

Moxie is being built for that space 🌟 Follow along as we share practical insights to help raise resilient kids—and send us a DM if you'd like your school to make Moxie available to families like yours! 🎒
