The Stoplight Approach is 100% grounded in neuroscience, physiology, psychology, and sociology. Standing on the shoulders of people like Dr. Karyn Purvis, Dr. Becky Bailey, Dr. Philip Mamalakis, Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Dan Seigel - amongst countless others - Stoplight combines their knowledge to create an easy-to-understand framework for children and adults alike, while not sacrificing scientific support.

At the same time, The Stoplight Approach is also founded on biblical principles, with the core belief that God is love. Our understanding of God's love for us informs our approach to discipline - an approach rooted in Christ-like love for one another and informed by science, with the goal to help children (and adults!) regulate their emotions and become responsible citizens in society.

Because we realize and respect that not everyone will appreciate the theological side of the discussion, Stoplight offers both faith-based and secular resources. Depending on your personal beliefs and the contexts in which you want to put Stoplight into practice, one might be better suited to your needs than the other.

Our only agenda is to provide as many resources for as many contexts as possible to help create safer places around the world where children can thrive. Our vision is to see connected people, caring communities, and a kinder world. Join with us in making that a reality!
