Who we are, what we're about:

Joyful You - Joyful Child is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3), organization that promotes Inner Joy. Our two major vehicles for doing so are Joyful Child®, which focuses on parent and teacher education, and Joyful You™, which focuses on YOU.

Definition: Let's briefly define what we mean by Joy. It's the energy of love, the feeling quality of love. We're talking about unconditional love for self and others. Joy is different than ordinary happiness which is usually a personality reaction to outer conditions. Joy is a soul quality and is untouched by outer circumstances. Our Motto is "Joy Is An Inside Job."

Peggy Joy Jenkins, Ph.D was the recipient of a 1990 Golden Balloon Award from the World Children's Foundation, a branch of UNICEF, for the outstanding contribution of her book, The Joyful Child, to the well-being of children.

A visionary, author and adult educator, she has long believed in finding a need and filling it.
Her seminars and books have all been created from that intention.

Pegi-Joy sees her mission as helping to meet two major needs of these times:

1. The need for a change in the way we relate to today's children - She advocates seeing them as the multi-dimensional spiritual beings they are, each one here for a special purpose.

2. The need for JOY on the planet. As a soul quality it's our birthright. It has the ability to uplift and heal us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. As we focus on joy, individually or in groups, we are raising our vibration and adding to the critical mass that can lift the consciousness on this planet.

Pegi-Joy received her BA in secondary education, her M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education, with an emphasis on education for creativity, and her Ph.D. in Adult Education. As an educator, she has taught from the preschool level through the university graduate level. She has done corporate seminars, church seminars, and general public workshops.
