I’m on a mission to make social-emotional learning joyful for all kids, a commitment that’s deepening as I pursue a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT). Amid an ongoing mental health crisis, it's more crucial than ever for children to acquire essential life skills such as self-awareness, responsible decision-making, and forming healthy relationships.

That's why I use my background in graphic design and design in kids and toys to create tunes, poems, and videos on my YouTube show PLAY WITH KIP. Through fun stories, songs, and activities, I teach critical social-emotional skills in an engaging way kids love.

My goal is to ensure every child can develop confidence, thoughtfulness, and compassion. Please join me by subscribing and help make emotional intelligence uplifting!

What is SEL?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a lifelong process of developing skills that help us to be successful in all parts of our lives, such as:

  • Communicating effectively

  • Building relationships

  • Working through challenges

  • Making decisions that benefit ourselves and others
