My Happy Mind

Help your child build life-long confidence and resilience

Summary

When Laura Earnshaw found out her son was struggling with anxiety at school, she was shocked to discover there was no support available for him. As a leading global HR executive specializing in helping people thrive, she decided to take matters into her own hands and went on to create myHappymind, now an award-winning curriculum used in hundreds of nurseries and primary schools across the UK, that builds resilience, self-esteem and ultimately happiness in children.

My Happy Mind will reveal, for the first time, all the science-backed secrets used in this curriculum to empower and educate parents – whether your child is struggling already or you want to future proof their mental health. Packed with inspiring stories and practical activities, you’ll find out:

-The five ingredients to building resilient, balanced and happy minds
-What a growth mindset is – and how to encourage this in your child
-The power of dreaming and the importance of setting goals
-How to teach your child to self-soothe when they feel stressed
And much more!

The message of this book is very simple: give today’s children the skills to thrive in tomorrow’s world.
