Hi! I'm an early childhood educator and mother who is on a mission to empower children and families through engaging stories that foster mental wellness and personal growth. I'm passionate about sparking joy while instilling valuable life lessons that will help children thrive. I believe that every child deserves access to enriching content that fosters a love for learning and promotes positive values.

WHY A MENTAL WELLNESS SHOW FOR PRESCHOOLERS & KINDERGARTENERS?

Early childhood, which ranges from before birth to 8 years old, is a period of rapid brain and body development. It is also a crucial period for developing social and emotional habits important for mental well-being. This includes developing coping, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills such as emotional intelligence.

Children who are living in poor conditions, have a lack of access to quality support and services, violence (especially sexual violence and bullying), discrimination, harsh parenting, and children experiencing severe socioeconomic problems, including children living in humanitarian and fragile settings; orphans and foster kids, are at greater risks for mental health issues.

The consequences of failing to address mental health conditions in children can extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

Mental wellness requires a multi-level approach with a variety of delivery platforms.

Media such as videos is a great way to reach children all over the world, particularly the most vulnerable.

Ms. Erica's World aims to empower children and families through engaging and fun videos that teach real-life skills like emotional regulation, resilience-building strategies for managing difficult situations and adversity, and promoting positive social environments.

Your support will help make this mission to create a better world for children possible!

Thank you for your generous support!

With love,

Erica Tazewell
