"Social and emotional learning is so important, and our kids just don't get enough. My children - and the children at my school - absolutely love
Dr. Gryder's lessons. I wish every child could experience them!"

"I've worked with children and families for over 30 years, and I know firsthand how much our children need their social and emotional needs to be deeply met. Dr. Gryder's lessons are terrific! Your children will love them."

"In all my years of ministry, I've seen that it's the relational and connection skills that we so often grow up missing. I'm so glad Dr. Gryder created these wonderful lessons!"

“These are such beautiful lessons! I doubt more than a few of us were raised in an environment that allowed for a deeper learning of our emotions and a self-awareness that can propel us forward rather than hold us back! I can’t wait to do the activities with my son!”
Brittany
Mom of one
“I love Meeting Kids’ Needs for my kids. I’ve learned so much about supporting them with their tough emotions and giving them what I wish we were given as kids. It’s been such a gift for our family and has filled a gap where no other resources seemed to address. I highly recommend the program for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone working with children.”

Moms have to say!
The latest research, made simple.
You don’t have to keep
guessing when things feel hard.
When your child’s reactions feel bigger than expected — and what you’ve tried isn’t working the way you hoped — it can leave you feeling stuck.
Meeting Kids’ Needs shows you how to support your child with clear, research-backed tools that work in real life.
You’ll be guided by decades of experience, doctoral-level training, and deep study in child development — all translated into practical wisdom you can rely on at home.
I'm Dr. Missy Gryder.
If your child’s big emotions have been feeling like a lot…
you’re in the right place.
You don’t need more parenting hacks — you need a clear, grounded way to support your child’s emotional world.
