About MotiVeggies
Hello and welcome. These products were inspired by my own journey as a parent, especially during those early, impressionable years with my sons. Like so many families, I wanted to strengthen more than just their brains and body; I wanted to nurture their hearts and minds, too.
When I couldn’t find the tools I was looking for, I rolled up my sleeves and created them myself (initially using actual produce), relying heavily on the best research on how to properly motivate children to build good habits and strengthen their sense of self.
That’s how MotiVeggies came to life – a heartfelt project, rooted in science and designed with the hope of helping other families raise smart, resilient leaders, just like yours.
From kitchen table idea to a full system
MotiVeggies began as a set of homemade “character veggies” I used with my own kids to build habits and talk about feelings. Today, they have grown into a structured, science-informed emotional learning system for families and classrooms.
for parents
The Science Behind MotiVeggies
These aren’t just plush toys to cuddle; they’re part of a system including a matching notepad, a specialized note library, and instructions for parents on how to maximize their positive impact. Backed by years of research on child development, emotional intelligence, and resilience, MotiVeggies are the first of their kind.
Science shows that when children learn to recognize, understand, and express their feelings constructively, they become more capable of handling challenges, building meaningful relationships, and growing into confident leaders.
MotiVeggies uses time-based rewards and thoughtfully crafted notes from psychologists to turn emotional development into a playful, rewarding journey. Parents, teachers, and caregivers gain the structure and guidance needed to nurture emotional literacy every day.
Raising emotionally resilient, confident kids
We believe in supporting families as they raise emotionally resilient, confident, and compassionate children. A lot of focus has been placed on academic and physical growth. We are focusing on emotions, habits, resiliency, and leadership.
Every child deserves a strong emotional foundation, and our goal is to make that journey as engaging and enjoyable as possible for everyone involved.
Emotional literacy influences how children respond to stress, build relationships, and see themselves. By growing these skills early, we help them show up as kind, confident leaders in every area of life.
