What you'll experience
A two-week path from understanding what emotional resilience actually is to becoming the adult a child brings their difficult feelings to โ in about ten minutes a day.
Emotional Vocabulary
Expanding the words a preteen or teenager has for what is happening inside them.
A Safe Space
How to make expressing a difficult feeling safe, so it gets said rather than buried.
Emotion Coaching
Moving from fixing the problem to coaching the child through the feeling itself.
Empathy & Compassion
The skills that let a child sit with someone else's distress without absorbing it.
Your Own Role
What changes in you as the parent or educator, because that is where it starts.
Where a lot of parents are
Does any of this sound familiar?
Wanting to help and not knowing how is the most common place to be. It is not a failure of love โ it is a set of skills nobody taught you.
โ
They say they're "fine"
Something is clearly wrong and the conversation closes before it opens. You can see it and cannot reach it.
โ
Big feelings arrive as behaviour
What comes out is anger, withdrawal or a slammed door, because there are no words attached to it yet.
โ
You jump to fixing it
You want the distress to stop, so you solve. And the child learns that feelings are problems to be removed.
โ
They're growing up somewhere harder
Comparison, pressure and permanent visibility. The world they are managing is not the one you grew up in.
Resilience is taught, not inherited
Children are not born knowing how to name a feeling, sit with it, or ask for help. Those are learnable skills โ and the adult who models them is the one who teaches them.
What changes
From managing behaviour to coaching emotion.
The aim is not a calmer child in the moment. It is a young person with the vocabulary, the skills and the safety to handle what comes โ long after you stop being in the room.
Resilience through the hard years
Support children to stay steady while navigating the ordinary difficulty of growing up.
Emotional intelligence, early
Build the skills from a young age, when they take hold most easily and cost least to learn.
Less overwhelm, more capability
Tools that leave a child better equipped to manage a difficult emotion rather than flooded by it.
A stronger connection
Become someone they bring things to โ and watch confidence and happiness follow from that.
For the adult, about the child.
You take the course; the child gets the benefit. Sha-En spent over a decade in education watching academically strong students struggle with failure, and built this from what actually helped them.

- You find out something was wrong long after it mattered
- Difficult emotions come out sideways, as behaviour
- You solve the problem and the feeling stays unnamed
- Hard conversations end in a closed door
Feelings get spoken.
- They have words for what is happening and use them earlier
- You recognise the feeling under the behaviour
- You coach rather than fix, and the skill transfers
- You are the person they come to first

Who it's for
For the adults in a young person's life.
Parents of preteens and teens
The years when the door starts closing, and having the right words matters most.
Teachers and educators
Sha-En's own background. The material was built for classrooms as much as kitchens.
Grandparents and carers
Anyone a child talks to. The skills belong to the relationship, not the job title.
Coaches and youth workers
Where emotional support is part of the role but rarely part of the training.
Parents of younger children
Emotional intelligence is easiest to build early, before the harder years arrive.
Complete beginners
No background in psychology needed. Everything is built from the ground up.
Inside the course
Two weeks, ten lessons, one shift.
Built to fit around a family: 10 short lessons with expert videos, a daily task with each one, two hours of on-demand learning and lifetime access to the videos and notes. A certificate of completion comes with it.

The curriculum
Two weeks. Understand it, then build it.
Week one is about seeing clearly โ what resilience is, what blocks it, and what your role actually is. Week two is the practical work of strengthening it.
Week 1Understanding Emotional Resilience and How to Support Youth
What emotional resilience actually is, and why it matters particularly for young people right now. This week looks at what gets in the way of preteens and adolescents developing it, and at your own role as a parent or educator. Awareness comes first โ and expanding a young person's emotional vocabulary starts with the adult understanding what they are looking at.
Week 2Strengthening Youth Emotional Resilience
Creating space for healthy emotional expression is the first step, but space alone is not enough โ support has to come with it. This week is about becoming an emotion coach: the practical skill that lets a young person meet an uncertain world with a sense of foundation underneath them.

Still unsure? Email support@infijoy.com and we will answer.
Is this course for me or for my child?
For you. It teaches parents, educators and carers how to support a young person's emotional resilience โ the vocabulary to use, the space to create, and how to coach a feeling rather than fix a problem. The child benefits without ever watching a lesson.
What age range does it cover?
The focus is preteens and adolescents, where emotional vocabulary and resilience are most tested. Much of it applies earlier too โ emotional intelligence is easiest to build from a young age, before the harder years arrive.
How much time will I need?
Two hours of on-demand learning in total, across ten short lessons over two weeks. Each lesson comes with a task designed to fit into an ordinary family week rather than compete with it.
Can I start anytime?
Yes. Start whenever you are ready and work at your own pace. Lifetime access means you can return when a child reaches a new stage โ which, in practice, is when most people come back to it.
What will I learn?
Across the two weeks you will learn how to:
- Support children to become emotionally resilient while navigating growing up
- Develop emotional intelligence in children from a young age
- Help a child feel less overwhelmed and better able to manage difficult emotions
- Create a safe space where feelings can be shared without judgment
- Build a stronger connection, and support them to be more confident and happier
What is an "emotion coach"?
An adult who helps a young person recognise and work through a feeling, rather than removing the situation that caused it. Week two is built around this, because it is the skill that transfers โ the child keeps it long after the conversation ends.
Do I need any prior knowledge?
None. No background in psychology or education is assumed. Every concept is built from the ground up.
What qualifications does Sha-En Yeo have?
Sha-En Yeo holds an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She is Singapore's first Happiness Scientist, a two-time TEDx speaker and founder of Happiness Scientists, a former teacher with over a decade in education, and has trained more than 25,000 people. She has been recognised as one of LinkedIn Asia's top mental health advocates.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access to all ten lessons and the accompanying notes, so you can return whenever you need it.
Is this a substitute for therapy or clinical care?
No. This is educational well-being content for parents and educators. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment for any condition. If a child is in distress or you have concerns about their mental health, please speak to a qualified professional such as a GP, school counsellor or child psychologist.
