Growing families one circuit at a time

The Growth Circuit helps parents turn emotional meltdowns into growth moments by teaching their children skills to build emotional intelligence, using fun tools grounded in real psychology.

The Growth Circuit is a parent-focused program created by a psychologist to help families raise emotionally intelligent kids.

Using playful, evidence-based tools and relatable characters, it strengthens the parent-child relationship and builds self-awareness, resilience, and confidence—both in kids and in parents.

If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, The Growth Circuit gives you the language, strategies, and support to turn everyday challenges into meaningful growth moments.

The 3am worries

The Growth Circuit empowers parents with fun, psychology-based tools to raise emotionally aware children.

We teach parents and young people a shared language of emotional resilience through:

  • A character-based model (e.g., Negative Nelly, Confident Charlie)
  • Courses, books, games, and media

This is not a replacement for 1:1 therapy (it is also not 1;1 therapy) but rather a tool to assist parents to engage in fun activities and skills that young people will be able to relate to and build their skills base together.

  • Today 3:15 am
  • Am I messing this up?
    What if I’m not teaching them what they need to cope with life?
  • Teach your child the tools for self-awareness, resilience, and emotional regulation, so they’re equipped, not overwhelmed.
  • Why won’t they talk to me anymore? They shut down every time I ask how they’re feeling... I’m losing connection.
  • Learn how to create safe, open moments of insight, even when your child doesn’t have the words.
  • Is this a phase or something deeper? They’re angry, withdrawn, or anxious... but is it just hormones or a warning sign?
  • Understand your child’s inner world, so you can respond with insight, not fear.


What Makes the growth circuit Different?

Unlike most parenting programs, The Growth Circuit doesn’t just offer advice—it gives you practical, psychology-backed tools you can use with your child in real time. Grounded in emotional development, storytelling, and character-based learning, it’s therapy-informed without being therapy.

This is about connection, not control—and building lifelong skills through playful, everyday interactions.

The Growth Circuit Chats – Parenting meets positive psychology

Hi, I’m Rebecca

Psychologist. Educator. Creator of the Inner Team.

I’ve spent over a decade working as a psychologist with young people and families, listening to their stories, helping them navigate big emotions, and watching the gap grow between therapy and everyday parenting.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

  • Parents aren’t broken. They’re just overwhelmed.
    And while therapy can be helpful, it often leaves parents wondering “But how do I actually use this at home?”

That’s why I created The Growth Circuit, a place where psychology meets storytelling, creativity, and fun.

“The Growth Circuit helps parents turn emotional meltdowns into growth moments by teaching their children skills to build emotional intelligence, using fun tools grounded in real psychology.”

Psychology made playful and practical

TGC uniquely blends evidence-based psychological frameworks with accessible, engaging tools that feel more like play than therapy.
While most interventions focus on the child, TGC focuses on giving parents the confidence and tools to do the emotional teaching themselves.
The Inner Team characters like Confident Charlie and Negative Nelly provide a memorable shared language for emotional awareness, bridging the gap between psychological theory and family connection.
At The Growth Circuit, we’re building more than a course, we’re building a community where stories, games, and everyday moments help families grow together. From storybooks to YouTube episodes to playful tools, each piece is designed to spark conversations, strengthen connection, and make emotional learning part of family life. Our goal is to create meaningful touchpoints that meet families where they’re at and gently weave curiosity, connection, and emotional insight into day-to-day.

This isn’t just professional, it’s personal. The Growth Circuit™ was created by a registered psychologist who’s also a parent, blending clinical insight with real world parenting. Where resources are grounded in evidence and shaped by lived experience. It’s where science meets the messy, beautiful reality of parenting.
