With children as our core focus, together with a team of psychologists, researchers and early childhood service owners, directors and educators we have developed an evidence-based comprehensive, common language mental health and wellbeing approach
What if we taught children about their minds and how their thoughts and feelings interact to affect their behaviours and outcomes?
What if we taught children about appreciation and gratitude, kindness and empathy and respect for self and others and that life is a rollercoaster of events and emotions?
What if services could support educator capacity with confidence building pre-prepared EYLF resources?
Content is based on the concepts of emotional intelligence, focus, appreciation, relaxation, cooperation, growth mindset and communication so that children can develop healthy self esteem and positive relationships with themselves and others.
