Meet Drip, Drop, and Drizzle.

Three raindrops teaching kids ages 4-15 that their feelings

aren't the problem: they're the starting point.​

Founded by educator Mary Ostrowski · Part of The PATH from EI to AI™

DRIP, DROP AND DRIZZLE

Three friends. Three temperaments.

One thing in common.

They're learning to navigate the world the way real kids do — at four, fourteen, and every age in between…through feelings, friendships, mistakes, and the courage to try again.

Drip

DRIP'S smile lights up a room, and she shares her happiness with pretty much everyone.

 

She wants to get things right ... so much that sometimes she doesn't try at all.

Drop

DROP is so much fun to be around! He will make you laugh out loud - and then cringe the next minute.

​

He says things before he thinks, and feels bad about it after.

Drizzle

DRIZZLE is the friend you feel like you've known forever. He seems to get everything right. He doesn't.

 

He's just good at trusting himself enough to try again another way.
