Happiness is a Choice
Centered in Here & Now
Happy Kids Movement is a 501c3 nonprofit that empowers kids with skills to navigate life with compassion, regulate their emotions, and focus their attention through school mindfulness programs, enrichment camps, workshops, field trips and more!
Happy Kids Movement does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
All offerings are non-sectarian and are not in any way religious.
The farther outside of ourselves we search for happiness, the farther away it will be.
Mindfulness at School
Ongoing
San Diego, CA
Each week Betsy delivers new mindfulness lessons to students during their school day, helping them pay attention to their feelings and expand the space between stimulus and response. Here, we find the power to choose our response to whatever is happening in the present moment. .
Can you hardwire your brain for strength and happiness?
“As a result of these classes, I have noticed students being able to deal with strong emotions and tackle challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. Mrs. Cantrall and the Happy Kids Movement really helped my students and myself ease our way back into regular life after a few crazy pandemic years and we are SO VERY grateful!”
— J.E., 4th Grade Teacher, Oceanside, CA

Each lesson helps students ground their nervous system and cultivate their own unique dance with life.
Compassion
Cultivating compassion together in our community creates a magical ripple effect for the consciousness of the planet.
Focused Attention
Our programs effectively guide students to direct their attention with lesson sequences proven effective in health care.
Create a prosperous future
Each experience is an opportunity for your child to embrace a new aspect of life with curiosity and compassion. Together we engage in creating a heart-based connection with ourselves, our community, and our planet Earth.
Connect families and communities
While our programs encourage unique individual expression, we’ve also included special opportunities to bring people together with our scholarships, enrichment camps, and community service projects.
