About Us
We make children’s inner worlds easier to hear—and easier to help.
My Child’s Psyche Initiative (MCPI) turns child-psychology evidence into clear, practical steps for homes, classrooms, and communities across Nigeria. We design tools adults can use tonight—scripts, checklists, and simple routines—so children feel seen, safe, and supported, and caregivers know exactly what to do in real-life moments.
Our Mission
To translate child-psychology evidence into simple, culturally aware, child-safe tools that improve daily life for children and the adults who care for them.
Our Values
A Nigeria where every child’s inner world is understood, respected, and supported—at home, in school, and in the community.
Why we exist
Children carry whole inner worlds—questions they can’t yet name, worries that show up as tummy aches or silence, and strengths that blossom when someone notices. Too often, support feels complicated or out of reach. MCPI bridges that gap by turning research into real-world action: word-for-word conversation prompts, 10-minute routines, and classroom tweaks that work in crowded timetables, small apartments, and varied community settings.
Promise: Fewer lectures, more scripts. Fewer theories, more steps.
How we started
My child’s psyche began with a deep and personal realization that each child came with a world within them, that includes fear, worries, personality anxiety, dreams, questions and a lot of potential. Yet so often children’s voices go unheard, questions go unanswered and their emotional and mental-wellbeing are more often overlooked. My child’s psyche hopes to create tools to answer some of the questions, address some of these issues and also equip parents with the tools they need to raise future leaders
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely"
