You Can Now Access Our Award-Winning Feelings Detective® Curriculum Anywhere, Anytime

For the past eight years, Sunny Kids Shine® have been reducing BIG Feelings through an Evidence- Informed Approach to emotional well-being.

Now, for the very first time, our award-winning Feelings Detective® curriculum is available as an online membership community, giving parents, caregivers, and professionals the opportunity to access training, tools, and ongoing support in their own time, at their own pace.

Whether you are supporting a child experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, school-based difficulties, neurodivergent needs, friendship challenges, or BIG emotions that feel overwhelming, the Feelings Detective® Academy helps you feel more confident, empowered, and equipped with practical strategies and ongoing support that make a real difference.

Children Don’t Need Perfect Adults.

They Need Emotionally Equipped Ones.

We are raising, teaching, and caring for children in a world that no generation has ever had to navigate before. From increasing emotional pressures and online influences to rising anxiety, neurodivergent needs, and growing demands on families and professionals…

Supporting children’s emotional well-being has never felt more important, or more overwhelming.

Many parents, caregivers, and professionals are doing their best while feeling exhausted, emotionally stretched, and still learning how to navigate their own feelings at the same time as supporting children through theirs.

You may recognise moments where you are:

Walking on eggshells around meltdowns or emotional outbursts.

Feeling helpless when anxiety takes over.

Unsure how to support emotional regulation without escalating situations further.

Watching a child struggle with confidence, friendships, or school attendance.

Emotionally drained from constantly fighting to have a child’s needs understood and supported.

Searching for practical strategies that actually work in everyday life.

The truth is, children do not need perfect adults. They need emotionally safe, connected adults who feel supported, informed, and equipped with the tools to respond to BIG feelings in healthy ways.

That is exactly why the Sunny Kids Shine® Feelings Detective® Academy was created.

Award-Winning Support

Children SHINE when adults work together to light the way.

If You Are A Parent Or Caregiver Who Wants To:

Better understand your child’s emotions, support social struggles, reduce emotional overwhelm, and support BIG feelings linked to anger, anxiety, worry and fear. You will learn how to reduce emotional dysregulation, and associated behaviours, responding in ways that truly support confidence, calm and connection through co-regulation.

Or A Professional Who Wants To:

Strengthen their practice through a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming approach that prioritises emotional safety, connection, and understanding. You will learn how to improve emotional well-being support within your setting, reduce escalation, and build stronger, more trusting relationships with children and families through compassionate, child-centred practice.

You Do Not Have To Navigate This Alone

The Feelings Detective® Academy was created so that no parent, caregiver, or professional has to feel unsupported while trying to help children navigate BIG feelings.

Feedback and Testimonials from our Feelings Detective® Curriculum

We first contacted Jodie for support with my daughter’s anxiety and phobia of dogs and storms. She was incredibly patient and offered lots of advice and practical guidance on how to support her as well as ways that she could support herself and build her own self-esteem. We have seen a big improvement in her anxiety levels. Thank you Jodie!

I did the Feelings Detective course offered by Jodie at SunnyKids shine so that I could understand my 6yr old son's emotional outbursts and help him to resolve his negative feelings.It was a wonderful experience for me to have Jodie walk me through the process of helping him identify his feelings and manage them. It was empowering for my son to see how he can be in control of his own emotions. He's getting better at it and I can see an improvement. It also made me realise that early intervention in mental health issues will make a huge impact when he's older dealing with more complex issues. So glad I found your services Jodie!

Thanks Sunny Kids Shine for all your useful tips and advice too, it’s lovely to be part of such a supportive group.
