What is the myHappymind for families programme?
myHappymind for families is a digital programme that helps parents build their child's resilience, self-esteem and confidence at home. It's based on myHappymind's award-winning, NHS-backed programme for schools and early years settings, and it's designed for families with children aged 3 to 16.
How does the programme work?
You go through the parent programme first, learning the science and strategies proven to boost resilience, self-esteem and happiness. Then you take your children through the same modules, using a fun curriculum packed with games and activities. There are three age-based programmes, early years, primary and secondary, so the content suits your child's age.
What's included in the families programme?
myHappymind for families is a fully digital programme. It includes an online portal of lessons, activities and resources for you and your children, family challenges, myHappymind games for children, podcasts for parents and mini masterclasses, plus the myHappymind app so you can access everything on the go.
Is the programme digital?
Yes. myHappymind for families is a fully digital programme, so you can access every lesson, activity and resource online or through the myHappymind app, whenever suits your family.
Is the programme suitable for different age groups?
Yes. We support families with children aged 3 to 16, with three age-based programmes, early years, primary and secondary, so the content suits each age group.
I have children of different ages. How does that work?
That's not a problem. The children's lessons let you go into more or less detail depending on age, and you'll learn far more detail in the parent programme than they need, so you can scale up or down. We have families with children aged 3-16 doing it together, which is the best way to embed the habits.
I'm a busy parent. How much time does it take?
Lessons are short, usually 10–15 minutes each, and we recommend at least 1–2 a week. The habits take 2–5 minutes to practise and fit easily into your daily routine. You can also do them on the go with a Wi-Fi connection.
I'm not confident teaching this to my child. Will I be able to do it?
Yes. You go through the programme first, so by the time you reach the children's lessons you'll have the knowledge you need. Their lessons are simple and interactive, and your role is to guide the conversation.
How long will I have access to the content?
The standard families membership is for one year, though continued membership is also available.
My child's school or early years setting already uses myHappymind. What should I do?
If your child's school or early years setting uses myHappymind, you can create your own parent app account to see what your child is learning, with activities and videos to try together at home. Ask your child's school or setting for details, or search "myHappymind" in the App Store or Google Play.
Can I access myHappymind through a family hub?
Some local family hubs offer myHappymind to the families they support. Contact your local family hub or council to find out if myHappymind is available in your area.
Is myHappymind for families based on science?
Yes. It's based on myHappymind's award-winning, NHS-backed programme for schools and early years settings, built on positive psychology and neuroscience. The same science, language and habits children learn at school are brought into the home.
