          Frequently Asked Questions

          Do we take the lessons solo as parents or with our kids?

          The lessons are designed for you to watch the very short videos with your kiddos and then there are in person activities (like coloring pages, matching worksheets and a fun habit tracker). There is a fun game you can do as a family when you have more time together (like on the weekends).

          How much time does each lesson take?

          The course is designed for busy parents and teachers. Once you start the course, each lesson takes about 10 minutes (usually less). Weekly lessons are released at a reasonable pace and so it takes up to eight weeks in total, with only about 10 minutes once a week and quick 1-minute check-ins each day.

          What format do we watch it in (e.g., do we watch on an iPad, TV)? 

          It should be easy to watch the Lessons from a computer/laptop or with an iPad or other phone or tablet (and you can cast it to your TV).

          What People are Saying

          “I struggle with anxiety…and I think I see it in some of my children…I have one kid who is more anxious and one kid who has sort of a temper and I see them using some of the tools they’ve learned for mindfulness and it’s really cool.”
          Marion, Park Hill Elementary School Parent & School Nurse, Denver, CO
          “When we found Lessons from the Bright Butterfly, I wasn’t expecting a miracle, but I was hoping for something that would speak to my son in a way that felt safe and made sense. What we got was beyond anything I imagined.”
          Karen, Homeschool Mom of Five, Phoenix, AZ
          “I’ve noticed a big change in our household from the Lessons from the Bright Butterfly…in particular with our son and how we engage. Everything is a little bit more intentional so when we sit down at the table for example, we talk about things that make him happy, things he did at school that made him happy that day. He actually wants to share things that make him happy.”
          Crystal, Mom, Denver, CO
          Lessons from the Bright Butterfly offers lessons for parents that we can use not only for ourselves, but for our children most importantly…offering things that we never thought we could have.”
          Tony, Dad, Denver, CO
          I loved this program. Not only did it help my students, but it reminded me to be mindful.

          The videos were great--engaging, well edited, the kids enjoyed them!
          Park Hill Elementary Teacher, Denver, CO
          I am SO EXCITED to have SOMETHING TO USE as a guide for Social Emotional Learning at the ECE level for this upcoming school year. I just love the short videos and the visuals and the guide and the whole life cycle of a butterfly to engage my 4-year-olds in their journey toward resiliency and perseverance and coping skills and growth mindset and happiness.

          Course Reviews

          As a teacher and a parent who has seen the great need to help our children navigate the challenges they face growing up, particularly during these last few years, I am excited by the Lessons from the Bright ButterflyTM course. The lessons in this course engage children in fostering skills of self-compassion, self-regulation, resilience, kindness, and gratitude in creative ways. Children will be hooked by the connection to the magical life cycle of the butterfly and many teachers will be able to integrate these social and emotional lessons into the goals of their science curriculum. Liz and Cyrina break down abstract concepts into vocabulary and activities appropriate for elementary children. The short length of each lesson and the simple materials lend themselves to using this course at home, as part of a classroom, or in an after school activity or club. I'm looking forward to using this course with my family and my students for years to come.

          With over 26 years of being a teacher, I highly endorse the "Lessons from the Bright ButterflyTM." The presenters of the course have a warm and welcoming voice that draws the listener in and creates calmness. The program gives effective relaxation techniques that can be replayed so teachers can incorporate these coping strategies into their daily or weekly routine. The course encourages students to explore what brings them happiness which is critical during these stressful times. It also creates positive imagery correlating students' life stages to the life cycle stages of a butterfly. This course focuses on and fosters a positive outlook and a growth mindset. Plus, this program is easy to use, and they even have a course outline to help teachers deliver the program that can be in less than 10 minutes a day for a week. Once you are done teaching the course it provides a creative certificate of success with butterflies on it to display in the classroom to illustrate accomplishment and metamorphosis.
