The M.Y.T.E Programme

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:

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 4 tools of the M.Y.T.E toolkit 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.
