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.
