Our researchers.
We're a team of neuroscientists, educators, and psychologists with decades of experience studying emotional development.
We had the data, the frameworks, the research. But when it came to understanding our own kids, we still felt uncertain. The science didn't always translate to real life.
So we built what we desperately needed: a way to truly understand children, not just in theory, but in the everyday moments that shape who they become.
The Thrive Assessment turns decades of cutting-edge science into something personal and practical: clear insight about your child.
Their triggers. Their strengths. Their exact needs.
No generic advice. Just the roadmap we wish we'd had.
The science behind Thrive.
Developed by clinical psychologists. Each strategy reflects age, stage, norms, and emotional profile.
Uses Gold-Standard PROMIS and NIH Toolbox population-based assessments, Northwestern University.
Delivers accurate, evidence-based insights you can trust.
Transforms complex science into practical strategies for your child's growth.
