Welcome to the Whole Child Lens Lab

Nurturing the Holistic Development

We champion the holistic development of bright individuals—not just in intellect or achievement, but in every facet of their well-being. At the Whole Child Lens Lab, we go beyond academic and career milestones to emphasize proactive, strengths-based support for social, emotional, ethical, and physical growth. We believe that caring adults play a vital role in helping individuals thrive by creating environments where they are truly seen, supported, and valued.

About

Founded by Dr. Enyi Jen, the Whole Child Lens Lab advocates for the well-rounded development of individuals with advanced abilities. We recognize the unique challenges of asynchronous development, where cognitive growth can outpace emotional and social maturity. Grounded in developmental psychology and informed by strengths-based frameworks such as the Peterson Proactive Developmental Attention (PPDA) model, our work emphasizes early, intentional support—before difficulties escalate into crises.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that flourishing requires more than talent or intellect—it requires attention to the whole person. By partnering with caring adults and educational communities, we aim to nurture balanced, resilient individuals who are equipped to grow across all dimensions of life.
