You want your child strong enough to face the world β€” and open enough to come home when it hurts.

Human Values Collective gives parents a simple weekly practice β€” starting at the dinner table β€” to raise kids with courageous hearts.

If your child breaks a vase and you get angry, you've just taught them something: it's not safe to tell you the truth. And if a broken vase isn't safe β€” depression won't be either.

Every Friday. One value. One question. Use it at dinner this Sunday.

How It Works

You don't need a degree in moral philosophy to raise kind kids. You need a table and a place to start.

Step 1: Listen

Start with the Human Values Podcast. Real parents. Real teachers. Real conversations about what it looks like to raise kids who actually talk to you.

Listen free on Spotify and Apple Podcasts

Step 2: Practice

Get the Value of the Week β€” a free Friday email with one human value and a family conversation guide you can use at dinner this Sunday. No prep. No lecture. Just a question worth asking.

Step 3: Transform

Join Sunday Night Dinner. Done-for-you dinner scripts, live coaching with Javier, and a community of parents building courageous hearts together β€” one Sunday at a time.

Testimonials

"Human Values in my life: I am infinitely more aware, compassionate and at peace. Human Values has helped me experience the challenges in life as lessons for growth, and the good moments as beautiful irreplaceable opportunities to celebrate my time on this earth. Because of human values I see a way to be just in this system and for all people, how I can thrive instead of survive and hold that vision and hope for others around me."

~ Melody Fevrier

Human values are important to me and I feel that it is part of my duty as an educator and human to talk about them with our youth. I understand that it can be hard but Mr. Payano has done amazing work and he gives us hope and weekly topics. With him it’s easy to bring human values into the classroom... Sometimes by having read the weekly human value I have been able to reflect upon it through my class lessons. By having read something we begin to make connections with ourselves and others with out even realizing it. Human values are a powerful thing in reaching out to others. "

~ Misty Esguerra

"I have found new ways to see myself as a human with equal value. It sounds simple and obvious to the mind, but this message had not reached my heart before I started practicing EHV.
Now, I can practice and model, however imperfectly, Peace/Truth/Love/Right Action/Non-Violence for my family, friends, students, colleagues, and community. It is a ripple that I have seen the effect of countless times."
