The Heart and Mind is an emotional intelligence and Cognitive skills program that helps children partner with their brain to understand and manage emotions. It helps them build vital skills to navigate their life story successfully.
Children with higher emotional intelligence are better able to pay attention, are more engaged in school, have more positive relationships, and are more empathic. They are able to manage difficult emotions, adapt and problem solve better.
At the end of this program, your child will be able to recognise and understand the various aspects of emotions in self and others.

They will be able to understand the need for coping skills and build their own coping mechanisms to manage difficult emotions in tough situations. They will learn how the brain works and understand the various aspects of the brain and how it influences emotions, behaviour and decision making. This self awareness and application of skills helps them build better perseverance and resilience skills that result in better performance in school, relationships and in life.

It is an active skill based program with multiple opportunities to practise skills.
