homemade goods to make the world good and happy

Our Story

TECK World was started by me, Jennifer Boice and my teenage daughter Susannah in 2020. I'd had an idea for years, but never really know how to execute it until my daughter came to me with the missing piece.

I have a son with a severe emotional impairment and parenting a child with special needs is quite different than parenting a child who responds to normal discipline. For years I listened to people ridicule my way of parenting and I stood alone, silently, as my son had numerous meltdowns in public. I felt dozens of eyes on me as I tried to hide my embarrassment. I was so tired of all the unsolicited parenting advice about a child they didn't even know. I just wished for tolerance and empathy and compassion and kindness to others, no matter what they are going through or what they look like or if they are born different or they just have trouble navigating this world we live in.

But I just didn't know how to get the message out. Until Susannah came to me and asked if she could make and sell soap. Then I knew I had a vehicle for my message, and TECK World began. 

So please, with every product you purchase from us, remember our message and do your best to be tolerant, empathetic, compassionate, and kind.
