Here are a few words about the JOYrific Chart from the mouths of my daughters. I created the chart and JOYrific System over 4 years ago when my now 8, 6, 4 year olds were only 4, 2, and 6 months old. They have grown up with a Chart in our Kitchen and the JOYrific Vocabulary discussed on a daily basis. This is completely unscripted and they said (and sometimes sang) what they wanted to about the JOYrific Chart. This should also give you a good idea of how we discuss the chart as a family when visiting the "high and middle". We recall stories, feelings, emotions, and openly share our experiences.

Mastering melt downs and facility attitude adjustments is a tongue in-cheek way to say if the behavior can be identified and explained then the task of changing undesired behavior is more likely a possibility in the future. Begin with the basic human needs. Understanding human needs are critical in the personal growth process. The JOYrific Chart is a communication tool to help parents and children identify and express their emotions, feelings and attitudes. The goal is to express appropriately in all types of circumstances. The chart’s principles are established from children as young as three years of age, as well as easily adapted to tweens, teens, adults, parents, and grandparents. Life’s journey is filled with challenges. Everyone can learn to identify, control and appropriately display emotions, feelings and attitudes, in the good times and in the difficult time. “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; life is about learning to dance in the rain!”
