Founder's Story
One day, my 8-year-old daughter told me “I hate myself”. This left me feeling really troubled. I’d noticed she didn’t look as happy and seemed more sensitive than usual, and she was sometimes being ‘mean’ to her sisters, but her strong statement came as a shock. I had a meaningful conversation with her and it turned out that she was feeling this way for two key reasons.
Meet The Happy Confident Bee
The Happy Confident Bee is a character we have developed to help teach children the ten key life lessons that lead to a happier, more confident life. We chose the bee as a universal symbol of happiness, ageless, and innocent.
The bees life is one filled with great meaning, and we hope that kids are inspired to live by the same values.
Bees work together as a community, each fulfilling their own role in making their world a better place. They each have a role to play in the success of the hive. As children do in their family units, their classrooms and among friends. We want children to see their value, to know that they count, and are important.
Bees are super focussed. They concentrate on what matters most. The sweet stuff in life! Our ten key lessons will help children focus on a sweeter life too.
The action of spreading pollen to make flowers grow is a strong analogy for children, helping them understand the positive effect of spreading positivity, happiness, kindness, and empathy.
