“In the first two years of our childrens’ lives, they go from crawling to standing to running to thinking, and just when they begin to feel this power of “I CAN!”, we tell them “You have to listen to us, you have no choice”, and very soon, they start saying “I can’t".”
The FIDS process outlines a child friendly framework for creating new and innovative ideas to solve a problem.

Feel
The first step starts by asking you to slow down and understand the situation before jumping in to solve it immediately.
When you want to design a better solution, you need to move from ASSUMPTIONS –> INSIGHTS.
This happens when you engage with the community and design solutions ‘WITH’ them, instead of ‘FOR’ them.
Imagine
This step asks you to brainstorm solutions to improve, enrich, change the user experience.
When you choose to offer a solution to change the current situation, it asks you to take the responsibility for the same.
This mindset helps you believe that you are NOT helpless, change IS possible and YOU can drive it!
Do
This step is about creative agency and the ability to take timely action.
Action that follows Intention results in the Desired Impact.
Furthermore, the focus on details allows this effort to Improve the Quality of the experience, building a habit for excellence.
Share
The final step is SHARE, cultivating the abundance mentality.
Elevation is the shift from competing with others to completing others.
Inherent in this step is the belief that the ‘I CAN‘ spirit offers hope and inspiration for further change.
Go ahead, be a storyteller and shamelessly inspire others to ‘BE THE CHANGE‘!
