Our family has changed. I have changed even more. I am so glad I found Pennies of Time. I know you know how much of a mess we were and how I hated motherhood. Your gentle promptings and challenges have been instrumental in giving me hope. I now see the glimmers of kindness in my kids that you said would come. The other day I noticed that Benny doesn’t mad scream at his sister anymore, and he actually drew her a picture when she had a hard day. You and Pennies of Time uplift! The world needs more of this and you.

What Makes Us Different

  1. We provide support and ideas that have been proven successful by pilot families. So, we aren’t experimenting on you. We do that part first!
  2. We SHOW you how to do projects, not just tell you a big list that will overwhelm you and make you want to run and hide under the covers.
  3. We support families and equip kids with the power to change the world in small moments each day.
  4. We utilize research-based methodologies to guide our families through the process of teaching their children to be kind and compassionate.
  5. We provide tools, examples, ideas, and programming that meets the busy nature of modern families successfully.

Our Vision of Your Success

  1. You integrate kindness habits into your family’s routine.
  2. Those kindness habits lead to increased happiness in your home. YES! Less fighting!
  3. You decide to do an act of kindness with your family as a regular family time event.
  4. Your children are equipped to be successful in their schooling and in their careers because they can compassionately problem solve and get along with others.
  5. In other words, one parent said,”I am finally teaching my kid how NOT to be a selfish brat. I can see how what we are doing with him will mean that he will leave home and be successful.”

Data for increased problem-solving skills, harmony in the home, decreases in fighting and entitlement are based on programming feedback indicators tracked for families participating in Pennies of Time Kindness Programs. We analyze every program to track effectiveness to help inform the body of research on how kindness habits affect families and how to improve future programming provided by Pennies of Time.
