The 4-week M.Y.T.E programme is designed to help children manage their thoughts and emotions. It introduces them to the importance of mental and emotional health for living a happy, healthy life.
M.Y.T.E stands for Manage Your Thoughts and Emotions and our programme is centered on the M.Y.T.E toolkit: a toolkit comprising of 4 tools that support a child’s wellbeing.
The 4 tools found within in programme are:
Week 1 – Breathe Tool
Week 2 – Feel Tool
Week 3 – Think Tool
Week 4 – Move Tool
Each week, children are introduced to one of the four M.Y.T.E tools. Every day that week, they practice a new activity to help them understand their thoughts and feelings, building their confidence and resilience.
What Children Will Learn:
- What mental and emotional health means and its importance.
- The four tools of the M.Y.T.E toolkit, their benefits, and how to practice them.
- Lucy’s Lightbulb: understanding the techniques associated with each tool and their benefits.
- Meditation – why breath control is paramount and how it supports the body.
- HeartMath – what HeartMath is and how it helps to develop a strong, healthy heart.
- Tapping – how to move from a negative to positive mindset and better one’s performance.
- Exercise – the importance of exercise and why it’s vital for wellbeing.
