The challenge and the change
“The parents have noticed that at home that they’ve become a lot more confident, and they’re really happy to come to school.” –Teacher, Gladstone Road Primary School
Staff at Gladstone Road Primary School wanted to broaden children’s emotional vocabulary and help them manage frustration and strong emotions more independently.
Through Team H-A-P, Happy Breathing, characters and journals, myHappymind gave children a shared language and practical tools to understand their emotions. Pupils now calm down and refocus with less adult support, while staff report fewer low-level behavioural issues and calmer classrooms. Children recognise strengths in themselves and others, and parents have noticed greater confidence at home.
