  13. Impact: 4 schools feedback • Children calm and ready to learn (especially after play ,lunch and other transitions) • Children use the breathing as a strategy to manage stress/anger/upset • Children clear about why their brains are behaving that way and that they can change it • Staff really enjoy it too • Children who have struggled with managing their own feelings and behaviour have been actively using the language and the breathing to articulate their feelings and to use the breathing to calm down.

  14. Second wave of training • Parent workshop to share the approach and teach the brain break to use at home • Displays on mindfulness in rooms and children have made posters for the school • New lessons: • Perspective taking • Choosing Optimism • Appreciating Happy Experiences Ensuring all new teachers have training Keeping in touch with best practice through network meetings. Weaving the language of mindfulness into lessons , assemblies, behaviour management. Including it in all that we do and enhancing other interventions that support children's well being

  15. What the children say • “When I’m crazy, it helps me calm down” • “ For once in my life I can close my eyes and it’s restful” • “I teach my brother to do the brain break. I don’t hit him anymore” • “ Mindup helps me be calm after I’m excited at break time” • “It helps me relax and I can concentrate more” • “ I used a BB at home when my brother dropped tomato soup on my dress and it really helped me calm down” • “I feel more refreshed after I do the BB”
