Testimonials from teachers at Tadley Community Primary School:
"The MyHappyMind program has been a fantastic addition to our classroom! As a Year 5 teacher, I’ve noticed how the program has helped my students develop better emotional resilience, manage stress and approach challenges with a positive mindset." - Mrs Izzo, Year 5 Teacher
"The MyHappyMind program has truly transformed the way we approach learning and emotional development in our classroom. We now explicitly reference neuroplasticity when revisiting concepts, helping students understand how their brains work as they apply new skills. When students are dysregulated, we discuss the amygdala to help them recognise their emotions, such as fight, flight, or freeze and find ways to move forward. I also make a conscious effort to praise character strengths, like love and kindness, which has encouraged students to use more emotional language. It’s amazing to see them express their feelings more openly and understand their emotional journeys." – Mrs Brady, Year 5 Teacher
