The IMPowerment™ App
Attitude • Perspective • Perseverance
A mindset framework that helps children grow confident, resilient, and self‑determined
There’s an app for almost everything—but this one isn’t downloaded to a device. It develops in a child’s heart and mind —shaped and strengthened by the adults who guide them.
The IMPowerment App™ is a simple, powerful mindset framework that helps children (and the adults who support them) become stronger, more confident, and more determined. It teaches three essential “inner apps” — Attitude, Perspective, and Perseverance — the core skills children need to navigate challenges, build resilience, and make empowered choices at home, at school, and in life.
These three pillars form the foundation of several IMPowermentKids™ books, giving children relatable stories and characters that help them understand and practice the mindset in real‑life situations.
The Three Inner Apps
Attitude
Choosing positivity and optimism in how we think and feel.
Children learn that things won’t always go their way — and that’s okay.
A healthy attitude helps them stay strong, confident, and kind… especially toward themselves.
Perspective
Seeing life’s challenges with balance, understanding, and gratitude. Kids discover that changing how they look at something can change how it feels. When situations get tough, Perspective helps them ask: “What can I learn from this?”
Perseverance
Choosing not to give up — even when it’s hard.
Perseverance teaches children to try again, and again, and again…
Each attempt builds courage, confidence, and capability — even the difficult ones.
Why These Skills Matter
When children keep their
Attitude positive,
their Perspective clear,
and their Perseverance strong,
they ignite their inner power —
the true meaning of:
I M POWER over ME.
The IMPowerment App isn’t just an idea. It’s a way of living —
every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
The True Superpower: Never Giving Your Power Away
One of the greatest strengths we can help our children to develop — and yes, a true superpower —
is learning to never give their power away to others.
The IMPowerment App teaches children not to let others:
— make them feel inferior.
—question their worth.
—convince them to think that they’re not enough….
Not good enough.
Not pretty enough.
Not athletic enough.
Not enough, period.
Children learn the truth:
You are Enough. Period.
I am Power over ME, Not THEM!
Believe it to be true!
Origin of the IMPowerment™ App
The IMPowerment App™ was born inside the pages of Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom — a book where parents, grandparents, teachers, and mentors share simple, powerful life lessons designed to help children grow strong, confident, kind, and self‑determined.
From those Momisms came a deeper insight: Kids don’t just need life lessons — they need a mindset to live them.
The IMPowerment App became that mindset.
It bridges the wisdom of Momisms with the everyday choices children make. It’s the “how” behind becoming confident, resilient, and empowered — at home, at school, and in life.
It’s the mindset behind every Momism… and the mindset children carry long after the book is closed.
How Children (and adults) learn the IMPowerment App?
Meet Kendi and Taye — Guides for Growing Inner Power
The IMPowerment App becomes even more powerful when children learn it in their own voice —
and Kendi and Taye are ready to help.
They use the IMPowerment App every day: when they’re learning something new, solving problems, staying positive, or working through tough moments. They explain Attitude, Perspective, and Perseverance in a way kids instantly understand in my books The Starfish Dance and I Am Power!: Over Me, Not Them!
Kendi and Taye show others:
—how to choose their Attitude
—how to shift their Perspective
—how to practice Perseverance
—how to remember their inner truth: I am power over me — not them.
These stories help children understand the IMPowerment™ App in their own voice, through real‑life situations they recognize and connect with.
Parents, teachers, and caregivers can use these books to introduce the IMPowerment App at home, in classrooms, counseling sessions, or social‑emotional learning environments.
The IMPowerment App™ isn’t just a concept — it’s a daily practice.
A way for children to understand their worth, strengthen their confidence, and learn the truth that carries them through every challenge:
I am power over ME — not them.
When children learn to choose their Attitude, shift their Perspective, and strengthen their Perseverance, they unlock a lifelong superpower: They stop giving their power away. Not to peers. Not to pressure. Not to doubt. Not to anything that tries to dim their light.
And that’s where your role comes in.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, counselor, or caregiver, you can help children activate this mindset — and our books make it easy.
Kendi and Taye show kids exactly how to use their inner apps in everyday moments: learning something new, solving problems, staying positive, and believing in themselves even when things feel tough.
