Healthy Mindsets for Little Kids

10-session programme to help children aged 5-9 build core resilience skills

A programme of 10 guided sessions for working with children aged 5-9, to help them build resilience skills. Each session covers a key issue, such as anger, attachment, discipline, anxiety, and self-esteem, with hands-on activities, photocopiable worksheets and tips for parents included.

This flexible, early-intervention programme utilises hands-on activities and worksheets to address behaviour issues and teach core resilience skills in children aged 5-9. Based around ten guided modules, each with their own animal character, the 'Healthy Mindsets' approach helps adults to assist children in building resilience across a wide variety of themes including attachment, discipline, anger management, conflict resolution, positive body image and self-esteem, grief and loss, and anxiety. Every session comes with a complete plan from greeting to closing down, and includes illustrations, photocopiable activities, website-downloadable content, worksheets, games, colouring-in sheets, and reflective content for children to think about their own views on the issue addressed in each section.

With fun, interactive and non-threatening sessions, this comprehensive resource is an ideal programme for parents, teachers, counsellors, therapists and social workers wanting to work with children and help them gain crucial life skills from an early age.
