What is My Happy Mind?

myHappymind is a whole school programme that teaches our children to understand how their brain works to control their thoughts and feelings. It focusses on understanding neurodevelopment and neuroplasticity in a child friendly way. It is an NHS-backed curriculum in primary schools, secondary schools, and nurseries and is focused on building resilience, self-esteem, and happiness in children.

It is an award-winning programme that has received national recognition

across the UK. The programme is backed by NHS and uses wellbeing strategies firmly rooted in science, research, and the fields of neuroscience and positive psychology.

One of our favourite tools to make us feel happier and settled is happy breathing. Children are taught that when we feel scared or anxious the amygdala part of our brain takes over and stimulates our fight, flight or freeze reaction. The only way to turn this off is to bring as much oxygen as you can to your brain, so we breathe in and out slowly; this is happy breathing. Ask your child about happy breathing - they will be happy to show you!

The children work through 5 modules:

Module	Children Learn
1. Meet Your Brain	The different parts of our brain and how they help us. How to use Happy Breathing to help us when we feel sad, stressed or worried. What happens in our brain when we learn something new and how we can look after our brain.

3. Appreciate	How to develop an Attitude of Gratitude How to be grateful for others, experiences and ourselves. How giving and receiving gratitude makes us feel.
