HEAR FROM SOME OUR OUR PARENTS THAT HAVE USED GROW YOUR MIND AT HOME:
“Flustered by the morning rush, my 9 year old son instructs me to stop, put my hand on my heart and take three deep anchor breaths. Grow Your Mind flows from the classroom into our family home. My boys regularly surprise my husband and me with the mature insights they gain from the programme. Through them, we are learning to be more mindful and to practice good mental health. My boys are displaying resilience and courage, and in turn they are inspiring us as their parents to put the same principles into practice. We are all benefiting from Grow Your Mind.”

“Grow Your Mind has been so valuable in helping my children understand their emotions and how to improve control over them. Our family wellbeing is indebted to them.“
