MiniMe Mindfulness® Parent Portal

No. You could just give your child the log in details or help them start the online lesson then leave them to it! Although, we believe that one of the HUGE benefits of the Parent Portal is that the parents/carers/guardians get to learn these life changing skills and techniques at the same time. It’s a huge benefit to the whole household if everyone embraces positive mental health habits.

You take it at your own pace.

There are 11 Mindfulness and 11 Mindset sessions. We would highly recommend setting aside 20 minutes at least every other week as your ‘MiniMe Mindfulness®’ time together. Watching Oscars video ‘one click’ lessons and then completing the task(s).

You continue to ‘practice’ the super power by following the guidance of the ‘home practice’ that is explained in each session.

If you do 1 lesson per week it will take 22 weeks to complete the course. If you do one lesson every other week it will take you 44 weeks to complete the course. You may want to align this with the academic year and break for holidays as and when they arise.

You have complete control and flexibility to go at your own pace - and can go back over any lessons a number of times if required. The important thing is not to rush through the sessions - take time to learn, embrace and practice the techniques. Keep it fun!

No. MiniMe Mindfulness® is a company that helps children to reveal, understand and practice mindfulness and mindset techniques. Effectively equipping them with a brand new ‘super power’ every week. We truly believe that this will help support positive mental health and will compliment any treatment/therapy that is being received. This should be in addition to and not in replace of any medical therapies recommended by a health professional.

We are not doctors, psychiatrists, behaviour experts, medical professionals. Our practice teaches mindfulness and mindset techniques to pre and primary school children in a fun and innovative way to help all children to thrive.

No. MiniMe Mindfulness® have designed these courses for EVERY child. We truly believe that the information and practices should be taught to ALL children from age 3 - and are “as important as teaching children how to read and write” (quote from our founder Tessa Hawes).

Positive mental health can arise and develop by learning these methods and techniques and continuing to practice them!

Yes. Just like going to the gym for physical fitness, if we know what to do and continue to practice the techniques we are going to create and maintain our mental fitness. Knowing is the key, practicing is where the magic happens and the inner strength continues to unfold and build. Once the techniques are locked in and become a habit - we have then changed our internal belief systems and trained our brains to think and act in a way to help us thrive - which can last a lifetime.

Any child aged between 4 and 11. Our emotional blue print and belief system is mostly formed by age 7! So it is important that children onboard the right information and form a great way of thinking about and viewing the world around them from an early age.

Our children need to learn the mindset tools to navigate through life happily, with confidence and resilience. We have a fun and innovate way of ensuring that our techniques are easy to understand and use effectively and immediately.

We believe that a 4 year old will take in some of the information that is taught in these courses.

When they hear the lesson for a 2nd time at age 5, 3rd time at age 6, 4th time at age 7……… they will take on board more each time and start to embed the processes.

We have primary schools that have bought these courses for the 3rd year in a row and are playing it to all age groups (Reception to Year 6) as a weekly lesson within the curriculum for the reasons set out above.

Plus each year (for example) a child’s vision will expand, experience of the world will have broadened and therefore the teachings will take on a slightly different meaning each year as a child develops. The important thing is continuing to expand their mindfulness and mindset practices to ensure that their positive mental health develops with them, stays on track and continues to support them as they grow.

ABSOLUTELY. It is never too late to start developing positive mental health habits. Or to challenge negative beliefs, and develop a different/new way of thinking, acting or behaving. These courses could help any child to thrive. The older the child is, the more they will have experienced and the greater understanding they will have of the content. Engagement is higher with older children and the lessons are short enough to ensure that each lesson is very specific in it’s teaching and suitable for the recommended age profile.

No. The Parent Portal and these 2 courses are ONLY to be used by a single household. Schools and education settings must purchase the ‘Resources for Schools’ which is developed for use within the classroom. The ‘One Click Lessons for Schools’ includes lessons for the whole academic year. 1 term of Mindfulness, 1 term of Mindset Techniques PLUS a 3rd Term which provides a whole host of lesson plans and resources for Mindfulness and Mindset Activities which can be used to embed the lessons in a fun and innovative way amongst a group of children in a classroom setting.
