Our Mission At The Healthy Harted Kids Program
 

Healthy Harted Kids is a program of the Institute For Personalist Psychology, which is dedicated to increasing personal and relational virtue in children, families, religious schools, and churches.  The Healthy Harted Kids mission is educational. It is aimed primarily at emotional growth and health in service of greater virtue.  The goal is "healthy hearted" children, and ultimately, a stronger life of the human heart for loving self, others, and God with excellence.  

The target age group is Middle School children, especially boys and girls aged 8 through 12.

About The Main Characters In Our Emotional Wellbeing Series  Of Kid Books
 

There is a great deal of confusion today about what human emotional life is like and how it operates, not only in children but in adults as well.  Confusion affects things at home.  It affects things in school.  It affects things at work. 

The main story book characters in the Emotional Wellbeing Series by Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D., T.O.Carm. and Lynn Marie Knapke, M.A., IAPOC, CHES have been developed according to the wisdom and teachings of Catholic medical doctor, professor, and counselor Dr. Anna Terruwe.  Her extensive knowledge base about child emotional development is a gift to parents, children and families from all walks of life.  This website and its contents are a memorial to Dr. Anna's life & works.

Jean for all their collected years of cherishing and supporting children.
