"It's difficult to say on a day to day basis how the program might be helping but after coming to the class session I feel these programs are very important. Their lives are full of academic and other pressures and this program allows them to switch off and focus on elements of character and well-being so important to a well-rounded person.

"It’s been fascinating to watch Charlotte very quietly take on the skillsand knowledge from the course. One evening she did a mindful/yoga session with my husband and myself and it was so obvious that she had taken on the language and skills through her "class" with us. She hasn't spoken about it a lot but I can see it has had an impact. She said she enjoyed the course however she was aware that some of the other children didn't enjoy it or benefit from it as she did."
“I have been doing mindfulness in a development program at work, so was able to share that with Max and Isabelle and they shared their school smiley mind app with me too. We go to the park, smell roses, and do a few short mindfulness sessions via our phone apps. I think these skills should be part of any life long learning program. It's just a few more tools in the toolbox for them as the needs arise.”
