The Children’s Arts Guild is dedicated to advancing authenticity as a cornerstone of healthy development. Through our book, For Real: Helping Children Remain Their Authentic Selves in a Limiting World, professional development programs, community workshops, and online resources, we equip parents, educators, and healthcare professionals with practical tools to help young people discover who they are and develop the skills to grow into the people they want to be. Each offering is designed collaboratively to meet the unique needs of the communities we serve — because authentic development begins with authentic partnership.

Overview
For Families

Inspiring Authentic growth
No two families are alike. Their histories are unique, as are their makeups and their stories. The common thread they share is their potential to support their kids in growing up secure, confident, and emotionally intact.
At the Children’s Arts Guild, we provide tools to help families discover and rediscover their authentic selves as they teach each other, learn from each other, and live in community together. We support them in guiding children away from society’s boxes and stereotypes and helping children be seen and celebrated for who they truly are.
For Educators

We equip educators to lead with authenticity, empathy, and confidence. Through professional learning, community workshops, and online resources, we emphasize children’s authentic growth as the foundation of their social and emotional well-being.
For Health Professionals

Health professionals are at the forefront of children’s authentic development and are a critical part of the community of adults that guide children’s growth. Through professional learning, community workshops, and online resources, we provide health professionals with the tools they need to help children’s authenticity flourish.
