myHappymind
The myHappymind curriculum is well underway here at Dordon with the first unit teaching us all about our brain. The children from Reception all the way up to Year 6, are able to talk about the H-A-P team and the parts of the brain they each represent. H is for hippocampus (it stores your memories), A is for amygdala (it helps you to react when you feel unsafe, worried or upset) and P is for prefrontal cortex (it helps us to make choices, concentrate and problem solve).
Research shows that myHappymind helps children to:
✓ Feel happier
✓ Know what to do when they feel worried or stressed
✓ Improve their focus and learn more
✓ Achieve more of the goals that they set for themselves
✓ Develop better relationships with friends and families
✓ Feel great about who they are and have positive self-esteem
