Emotional Intelligence for Kids

At MotiBuddies, we believe every child deserves the tools to navigate their emotions with confidence, and joy. 

Emotional intelligence is a lifelong skill, and we make learning about feelings fun, engaging, and accessible.

Through vibrant characters, interactive storytelling, and creative activities, MotiBuddies empowers children to recognize, understand, and express their emotions in a healthy way. 

By embracing feelings, kids build resilience, empathy, and self-awareness—essential skills for strong relationships, well-being, and success.

Our mission is to turn feelings into emotional intelligence, helping children grow into confident, well adjusted individuals.

MotiBuddies was created to help kids understand their emotions in a way that is educational, but feels natural and fun. 

It all started as a family project, with a shared passion for creativity, emotional well-being, and storytelling.

Inspired by real-life emotions, we brought to life Sunny, Droopy, Blaze, Wobbles, Heartly, and Crownie—each representing a different feeling that children experience every day. 

These lovable characters help kids identify emotions, express them, and develop the confidence to navigate them with ease.

From bedtime stories to classrooms, MotiBuddies makes emotional learning simple, interactive, and full of heart. 

MotiBuddies blends art, storytelling, and emotional growth to help children explore their feelings.

Livia, the illustrator, brings emotions to life through her vibrant creativity, making feelings fun and relatable. 

Tullio, created The EmpathIQ Framework to help adults and kids develop emotional intelligence and self awareness as a source of leadership strength.

Colleen, is an actress, wife and loving mom who believes in the power of self-expression through storytelling.

MotiBuddies is a fun and engaging social emotional learning (SEL) resource, giving children the tools to recognize, express, and celebrate their emotions with confidence.
