Invite Laurie to speak
to developing minds
that are still searching.
Between ages 8 and 14, children are quietly deciding who they are and what they're worth. The voices in the room during those years don't just inform them — they form them. Laurie speaks straight into that window, with stories that make children feel seen and parents feel equipped.
Wires the developing brain
Children aged 8–14 are at peak emotional plasticity. Stories told well at this age literally shape the neural pathways they'll use to handle rejection, identity and risk for the rest of their lives.
Builds belonging fast
An hour with the right speaker can do what a term of lessons can't — name what kids are feeling and give them language for it, in front of their peers, with no shame attached.
Equips the adults too
Parents and teachers leave with practical tools — conversation prompts, warning signs, and the confidence to listen for what's underneath the behaviour.
