My Happy Mind

Overview of myHappymind

We are proud to be a part of the myHappymind Family!

As a whole school programme grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. myHappymind also teaches the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!

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!
