Developing self-regulation toolsIn this module, the children learn all about their brain and how it helps them to be their best selves. They develop self regulation strategies and a solid understanding of the Neuroscience of how we learn and grow. Understanding the brain is a key way to help children deepen their understanding of emotions and normalise the need to self regulate - a key strategy in building confidence and self-esteem.

Building resilience and perseveranceIn this module, we focus on building resilience and perseverance. We do this by helping children to set their own ‘Big Dream Goals’; these are things that thechildren want to achieve because they are passionate about them e.g. learning a new skill in sport or art. By setting children up with goals they are internally motivated to achieve we give them their own evidence that they already have the skills to be resilient and to persevere.

"This unit has had a huge impact on the children and they can see how showing gratitude makes them and others feel. They have enjoyed doing the activities and identifying what and who they are grateful for in their gratitude mirrors. Children have been actively thanking one another - I've certainly seen a big improvement in terms of their vocalisation of gratitude."

Teachers
“My class have absolutely loved myHappymind. They always respond with a YESSS and excited smiles when it is time for our weekly ‘myHappymind’ session. They always get every question on the quiz correct because they listened and loved the previous lesson. It has had such a great impact on my class. The children found learning about their brains fascinating and it all just clicked and made total sense to them. They also love the videos and music-aimed perfectly at children.”Crossgates Primary School
Children

Parents
A year 5 pupil "It is very good, it makes you calm and It teaches you how to breathe and it makes you feel good. Doing myHappymind at the start of the week helps you feel better, its a fresh start and It is interesting to find out about the brain – Team H-A-P. A year 6 pupil "I think its good, Monday mornings help you start the week and it helps you deal with things. It put's you in a better mood for the next day. It helps you regulate yourself and the journal is helpful, if you have something going on, nobody else can see, but myHappymind helps us."
Governor
"myHappymind is a fantastic tool for the children and we have seen an impact at home as well with my own children. I am impressed with the journals and how child friendly they are and wished they had things like this when I was at school."
