Sparkle offers gentle support, engaging activities, and guided reflections for children before their teenage years, making mindful self-compassion more within reach than ever.

Dr. Thupten Jinpa
"With the constant barrage of distractions in today’s world, taking charge of our own mind has become a challenge for everyone—especially today’s youth. What inspires me most about The Friend in Me program is its promise to teach young people essential skills, particularly self-compassion, that can help them turn their own mind into a friend—an ally in fostering greater mental well-being."Dr. Thupten Jinpa is the Principal English Translator to the Dalai Lama and author of A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives.
Dr. Kristin Neff
"Research shows that self-compassion is a one of the most powerful ways we can cope with challenges and learn from mistakes, yet we don’t typically teach this essential life skill to children. The Friend In Me program draws on proven Mindful Self-Compassion practices and adapts them for kids in a way that is both meaningful and accessible. It blends engaging classroom workshops with innovative AI support to help youth develop the tools they need to emotionally support themselves. I’m thrilled to see this work being introduced to educators and students, and I fully support its mission."Dr. Kristin Neff is a pioneer researcher and teacher of self-compassion and co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.
Dr. Chris Germer
"This groundbreaking program is pitch-perfect! It captures the essence of self-compassion in tone and content, and makes it available to kids and their caregivers in an intimate, delightful way. I'm especially excited that this program teaches emotional skills to kids who don't typically have access to such training—essential skills for our increasingly complex world. Highly recommended!""Christopher Germer, PhD is a clinical psychologist and lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is a co-developer of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program.
Janice Martellucci
"Cultivating self-compassion in children lays the foundation for lifelong emotional resilience and well-being. The Friend in Me seamlessly integrates the Mindful Self-Compassion framework into an engaging, accessible program that empowers kids to be kinder to themselves. This essential work aligns beautifully with the mission of Peace in Schools, ensuring that mindfulness and self-compassion become core skills for the next generation."Janice Martellucci is the Executive Director of Peace In School, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a national leader in mindfulness education and the first organization in the nation to launch a for-credit mindfulness course in public high schools.

Our Story
The Origin of The Friend In Me
After the success of The Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids, we set out to bring the gift of self-compassion to even more children. We envisioned a solution that combined education with the power of technology.To test our concept, we partnered with a local school in San Diego. In one of our early trials, a student who struggled to share their emotions was finally able to express feelings they’d never put into words before. That moment reaffirmed the transformative potential of blending heartfelt education with cutting-edge technology.This innovative combination became the foundation of the Friend In Me.
Right now, our youth are facing a mental health crisis that is unprecedented. This increases their risk for psychological distress and disorders and is dimming their future.
In response to this growing crisis, our strategy focuses on equipping kids with resilience and self-compassion tools to help them navigate challenges before they arise.
Our Strategy
Proactively building life skills in self-awareness and self-compassion to prepare pre-teens to navigate the challenges of adolescence.
Self-compassion empowers kids to weather life's challenges with emotional strength and adaptability. Like trees that bend in the wind but don’t break, self-compassion helps children grow stronger, firmly grounded, and more resilient through life’s storms.
