To bring to market a new behaviour development toolkit offering greater flexibility, visability, consistency and ultimately results.
by Beehaviour Buddies in Shoreham By Sea, England, United Kingdom
We hope to raise funds to produce our innovative Beehaviour bands and the second addition of our Positive Parenting phrase book.
Any additional funds will go towards further research and design and creation of positive activity packs.
Our Story
Our journey to parenthood was a test of endurance. IVF, loss, grief, fear, neonatal intensive care, hope, love and miracles.
Somehow, we got there and now we are learning everyday from our miracle twin boys. Trying to live more in the moment, setting realistic expectations, accepting the harder days and relishing the good times.
We count our lucky stars every day and hope to play a part in helping other like-minded parents and caregivers to be the best they can be. We want to lift families up with practical tools, support and resources (no judgment or preaching allowed).
Whilst we were in hospital with our boys we created four characters called the Beehaviour buddies - who looked out for all the families in the unit - JJ the Butterfly, Linnie the Bee, Diggle the Grasshopper and Ruby the Ladybird.
These characters were inspired by the Doctors and Nurses who gave us strength whilst selflessly caring for us all - representing all of the qualities we would want to nurture in our boys.
Our Vision
We are working hard to create a total solution for childcare products and resources to support parents and caregivers on their positive parenting journey. We aim do this is by:
We will continue to research what's out there and ‘buzz’ about the good we discover. If we can’t find what we are looking for we will create our own, which is the reason for this crowd funding campaign.
We are at the point where we have created a basic toolkit that supports positive parenting in practice. Covering the range of learning styles (visual, kinaesthetic, auditory and read/write) we have moved beyond concept and have tested and shared with experts for feedback.
Now we need to raise funds and gather insights to bring our prototypes to reality and broaden the reach.
