BCHBH
Children, families and education
Resources and conversations to help children, families, teachers and schools understand thoughts and feelings with greater kindness.
Children often understand these ideas more quickly than adults do. Told that thinking is something the mind does—rather than something they are—many find it immediately recognisable, and rather funny.
Materials are offered in simple, age-appropriate language, with no religious framing and nothing for a child to believe.
For families
Talking about feelings at home
Simple phrases and short activities for the end of the day or the school run.
For schools
Classroom sessions
Short, adaptable sessions on noticing thoughts, calming the body and kindness.
For teachers
Staff introductions
An introduction for staff teams who want the language to be shared across a school.
Stories
Jerry for children
A gentle story-based way of meeting the chattering mind, made for younger listeners.
Community
Family days
Occasional gatherings where children and adults practise alongside each other.
Get in touch
Working with your school
Conversations are welcome with schools, community groups and family services.
Understanding begins early
A child who can say 'a thought is happening' has something they can carry for a lifetime.
