What is ‘My Happy Mind’?
The My Happy Mind programme is a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum that helps children develop essential life skills, such as emotional regulation, resilience, and mindfulness. Through engaging, age-appropriate activities and lessons, our children learn how to navigate the challenges of the modern world, build healthy relationships, and cultivate a positive, growth-oriented mindset.
Why do we offer ‘My Happy Mind ‘?
At the heart of our school’s vision and values is a deep commitment to the well-being and success of every child. We believe that in order for our children to thrive academically, they must also be equipped with the social and emotional skills needed to navigate the complexities of life. By integrating the My Happy Mind programme into our curriculum, we aim to empower our children to become confident, resilient, and socially conscious individuals, prepared to make a positive impact on the world around them.
How can parents support ‘My Happy Mind’ at home?
We recognise that the partnership between school and home is crucial to the success of our children. To that end, we encourage all parents to download the My Happy Mind parent app, which provides a wealth of resources and activities to support your child’s social and emotional development. By using the app at home, you can reinforce the lessons and strategies your child is learning at school, ensuring a consistent and holistic approach to their well-being.
At Caslon we are committed to nurturing the whole child, fostering their academic, social, and emotional growth. The My Happy Mind programme is a key component of this approach, equipping our children with the tools they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. We invite all of our families to join us in this journey, working together to create a community of compassionate, resilient, and socially conscious individuals who are poised to make a positive impact on the world.
