Emotional Resilience Program

Dash into Happy

Dash into Happy is an innovative course for youngsters K-5 and their families which teaches the skills and insights to high EQ (Emotional Quotient) through engaging stories, activities, and discussion.

In Dash into Happy, we build on the gentle and endearing traits that your children already find in our books and allow children to connect with the emotions in the stories in safe, accessible ways.

How do we do this? All the friends from Dash are in familiar fairy tales and fables.

  • Fan and Sam encounter emotions and dilemmas in the Three Bears.
  • Tim and Tam are Hansel and Gretel as they help each other escape the gingerbread house and show compassion about each other and their father.
  • Mitt and Meg shepherd the Three Billy Goats Gruff past the hungry troll and role model how to deal with a bully.
  • Daisy and Maisy are the princesses that sleep on a pea and show how to deal with hardships with manners and bravery.

Activity Packs

Additionally, each retold tale is accompanied by an optional activity pack. The activity packs are creative, attractive, and coordinate with the characters of the story. The activities create experiential, interactive learning appropriate for classroom or home use in small groups. Boys and girls love to play with the activities and enjoy a deeper understanding of the concepts taught in the books.
