myHappymind Avis 35

We are using myHappymind in our school and we have been blown away by the program. We are only a couple of weeks into the first module and the understanding the children have about their brain already is totally amazing. My children are already using the scientific language to describe their brain, know tools to support them in difficult situations and are able to talk about the feeling confidently. Children's mental health is so so important and the fact that the lessons and all the resources are there at teachers finger tips makes the delivery super easy. Thank you for such a brilliant resource. We couldn’t be without the program!

I am the parent of a child who goes to a myHappymind school. He absolutely loves learning all about his brain, and he loves Happy Breathing. We have been really wowed by how he understands how his brain works and what he can do to calm down when he gets worked up or stressed. I'll admit, I didn't know how my brain worked, and my son has loved sharing his knowledge with me. I know other parents within my child's class feel the same! I love the fact there is a parent app so we can access the Happy Breathing exercises at home along with other activities and games. Great to see it's being taught to all the children in the school - it's brilliant that they are developing a solid and shared understanding. In my opinion, every school should have access to this!

I’m a teacher of 22 years and we use this in our school. I’ve used it with a year 4 class and a year 5 class. As a teaching resource this is very poor. It’s boring for the children and the actual content is very thin indeed. Things like this might gain some traction with the current focus on mental health and I know a lot of schools will use it to ‘tick a box,’ but my honest opinion is that it’s not good enough. I also think that the author’s claim that her son’s school didn’t do anything - nothing - to help support him should be taken with a very big pinch of salt. Perhaps she feels they didn’t do enough , but they would have done something. Children’s mental health is important but, in my opinion, it’s not served by these materials. I know you’ve replied below and you’ve said schools report the very positive affects on mental health. As I said I’ve been doing this a long time and unfortunately there is little evidence to actually support this. Schools are very motivated to put things in place and then to ‘prove’ results. We’ve had brain training, children listening to classical music, children dancing during math’s lessons. It comes and goes. We also have so called mental health first aiders in school, who have passed a very simple course . My wife is properly qualified in mental health and works for the nhs. Children’s mental health is important but I reiterate , I don’t think it’s served by your lessons/ assemblies . I’m an outstanding teacher apparently but I wouldn’t rate any of the materials I’ve seen. Unfortunately it’s difficult for you because you’ll not get honest feedback. If something’s introduced by the head everyone will say how good it is , while saying the opposite in private. It’s a sad state of affairs. If you could rewrite the whole content to make the 6 or so lessons in a unit actually different, that would make a difference. Have you actually watched them ? Pick a unit any unit ?

I found my happy mind community and course a while ago now and I am so pleased I did. I have always been keen to learn and explore the best ways of helping support my children through growing, emotions and perspectives. The my happy mind course really helps both parents and children understand how the brain works and how your thoughts can effect your feelings and then your behaviors. My awareness of my moments and my children's moments alongside my openness to this course allowed me to explore my family through strengths, challenges and support through the community. As any parent we all want whats best for our children and I can say learning how to understand your mind and how to handle certain situations is key to learn from a young age. I support this course, I am still apart of both the course and community and will continue to grow with my family. All activity have had positive and inspiring impacts on my boys and I am so pleased with all its content and clarity.

I joined the My Happy mind for families programme. There is loads of helpful content which I'm still getting through and refer back to. The course has provided me with scientific explanations of why things happen and how to overcome them, explaining why the strategies that I was implementing previously with my kids weren't working. Extremely useful to know and understand. Laura, uses language that is easy to digest and provides appropriate examples. She has a wealth of knowledge and is happy to share it.
The Facebook Community is also very supportive.
I would highly recommend to anyone that has children struggling with their confidence and self esteem.
Thank you My Happy Mind!

Fantastic course, I have learnt so much and my 5 year old has definitely benefited already even though we are still working through the childrens modules. Laura is amazing I love listening to her, so interesting and knowledgeable. The community is so supportive, feels like we are all friends and I love hearing other people's experiences and the advice Laura and other members give.

I was in 2 minds about signing up to start with but I am so glad I did. Highly recommended 😃

This course has truly saved my sanity, the first lockdown was tough on so many levels and there were so many sudden changes in our circumstances and our lives. Our mental health took a hit as a whole family.

This course helped me and my family to navigate through all this and support our young child the best we can in a safe supportive, encouraging environment. I can not emphasise the huge support we received from the other participates. The Parent modules were so insightful and valuable it gave me the tools to understand and gain the confidence to go through the child modules at our pace.

I can not highly recommend this course enough and the support you receive not just on the calls, Facebook groups but directly from My happymind team.

Seriously the best programme ever! I'm super grateful we joined and with all the new found knowledge, tips and tricks we have gained together with the ongoing support from the team, we have had some fabulous wins resulting in a massively positive outcome on our whole family. The community is so supportive and one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of, I highly recommend MyHappyMind well worth the time and investment. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely amazing course, well delivered, great resources and content that is tailored for specific age groups.

I loved the parent modules and learnt a lot about myself and we are now really enjoying the children’s modules. Doing this course and supporting my little boy has seen his confidence and resilience grow over the last 6 months.

I would totally recommend it and a huge thanks to the happy minds team for everything they do.
Keep up the great work!

My Happy Mind is a wonderful and powerful course for parents and children. Laura is amazing and inspiring! I have taken so much from it and seen real results in me and my son. The science is easily digestible and communicated in a way that spoke to me as a parnet but the real strength of the programme is in the children's content which allows you to effectively teach and engage your child with the material in a systematic way, a road map to succeed in this important subject. Thank you!

I cannot believe how this course has changed my home life therefore my life. The course is mind blowing and so easy to follow and to understand. This was to help my daughter through lockdown but it has helped me so much. Laura and her team are so helpful, approachable and warm and friendly and I cannot recommend this course enough.

This course has totally transformed our family life. The course content is fab, easy to understand and relate to. I enrolled to help my children but have found the course equally beneficial to myself and even my husband is now totally onboard (something I never thought would happen!). We cannot thank Laura enough for all the encouragement and support she is giving us as we navigate our children through to the teenage years. Thank you so much Myhappymind

I started this course in February 2021 as my son was really struggling during lockdown with home Learning and the situation we found ourselves in.

So far we have all benefited from the things we’ve learnt so far and we still have a year of learning and putting into practice the amazing advice from Laura.

Highly recommend and looking forward to seeing my children become more resilient and confident with what life throws at them.

Can’t speak highly enough about this programme. The content is based firmly in science but is delivered in a way that is really easy to understand and with lots of guidance on how to embed the learning into your family routine.
Laura is awesome, so passionate about what she does, really knowledgeable and genuinely wants to help.
I joined this programme to gain a few hints & tips on how to help my child to manage their mental health but I have personally taken so much from it too! Would highly recommend

This programme is just wonderful. The course itself is fantastic, but it’s made even better by the additional materials you get with it. My children are growing in confidence every day, using the techniques they’ve learned with me through My Happy Mind. I also love that we can revisit areas of the course when we need to. It has helped me to understand my children so much better, and our relationships have strengthened and grown. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this course. Every parent wants the best for their child, but it feels all too often this comes in the form of an over emphasis on achievement- academic or sporting or music or whatever. I always felt wary of potential pressure from focusing on this, but could never articulate why, and didn’t know what the alternatives were. This course focuses on celebrating your child for who they are, helping them feel happy in their own skin and happy to pursue whatever dreams are right for them, and gives loads of real strategies to increase their resilience and self esteem. It’s changed my own mindset and approach to life too. Laura and the team are so supportive and helpful. It’s genuinely been life changing and I’m so glad I found it while my kids are still little.

Laura and the team are amazing! They are so helpful and very passionate about helping families. The course is full of scientific knowledge, fun activities and stories with lovable characters. I have honestly learnt so much about how my mind works. The information I have gained has helped me to become a better parent and better understand myself and why I react and respond in certain situations. I use the knowledge I have gained daily. It is one of the best choices I have made signing up. If you are willing to learn and do the work, you won’t regret it. Laura and the team are always there to help and advise. Love it!

Amazing program created by the lovely Laura Earnshaw to help build resilience and self esteem in our children. Taking part has truly helped my little girl with minimising her anxiety and she is thriving in confidence and her speech is progressing daily. What I love most about the program, apart from Laura Earnshaw’s loveliness, thoughtfulness, kindness and support that she provides each and every one of us, she has based this program on concentrating on our children’s character and teaches us how to build on engaging with them and making them feel that they do matter and that they are being heard and supported. The program is also science backed and really works.
Laura and her team show and give support and with the extra support from other families that take part in the program, you truly feel part of a big family. I feel so grateful xxx

We first came across My Happy Mind through their school starters course and soon upgraded to My Happy Mind for families, best decision ever! You are guided through the science, given practical tools and become part of a really supportive group of families all with a common goal. That would be enough but the My Happy Mind team go above that adding on extra support, which made the challenges of lockdown easier to manage. Both my children have responded well and we all use techniques from the course in our lives.
