Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness is an invaluable practice to help children of all ages to cope with todays busy life style and the challenges they face. This engaging and uplifting workshop introduces children to what Mindfulness actually is, how it can help and how to practice Mindfulness every day, so they can manage big feelings, stay connected to what's important to them and to enjoy the moment.
Understanding my feelings

Calming Big Feelings
This fun, engaging workshop introduces children to simple brain science to help them understand what happens when we experience big feelings and teaches them crucial early resiliency skills to calm the "downstairs brain" to bounce back!
Helping Myself and Others
A key factor in children's emotional health is talking to others about how they are feeling and asking for help. This workshop reinforces the importance of this and gives children skills in recognising when they might need help and ways in which they can let people know. It also teaches ways of helping others too (which is proven to lift our mood and enhance resilience).
Learning to Talk Kindly to Myself
Our thoughts and self talk significantly influence how we feel and how we act. This workshop introduces children to this science, as well as ways to spot their thoughts, and focus on more helpful self talk, encouraging more positive emotions and behaviours.
I Can Make Good Connections
