Growing Great Humans.
Raising resilient kids in a rapidly changing world
How do we raise kids to do well in a world so different from the one we grew up in?
Smartphones, social media, and now AI are changing the rules of the game, and a fresh blueprint is needed for raising tomorrow's adults. There’s a lot we don’t yet know, like, what jobs will they have?
But there are things we do already know, from science and accumulated wisdom from different cultures, that can help our children not just weather these changes, but thrive because of them.
Like skilled gardeners in changing climate zones, we can refocus our approaches in schools, homes and communities to help all children bloom: growing connection, resilience, and cultivating the timeless human skills that will serve us no matter what future brings.
Hello there! I'm Dr. Angela Low, a professor, researcher, consultant & parent.
I’m an educator, a researcher and a mom dedicated to helping our young people thrive and be resilient in the world they are inheriting. This often means we have to try new ways of doing things… It’s confusing and intimidating work, for sure! But I am confident it can be done. I draw on decades of child development and emotion intelligence research, my experiences living in 7 countries (& travelling to over 40), and the many trials and errors of bringing my kids up in a North American city radically different from a strict Malaysian/Singaporean childhood.
I focus on what helps big and little humans cope with change, bounce back from setbacks, find joy and grow mental health. I work with parents, educators, healthcare providers, and community workers to create environments where they and their children can thrive. Through evidence-based training and tailored support, I help teams and individuals foster resilience and emotional well-being in children —and find greater ease, balance and joy in this challenging work of raising good humans.

"Angela was by far one of the best presenters that I have heard in over 20 plus years. She was well prepared both in her presentation and the resources that she provided. She shared her humanity and vulnerability with the group which is humbling and so needed in our society."

"I have had the fortune to work with Angela in several capacities. She is a rare gem when it comes to facilitating workshops, whether they be virtual or in person: she is mindful, attuned to her audience and able to present information in a clear and coherent manner. Relationship is at the forefront of all that she does, and you will leave one of her workshops feeling connected and inspired!"
