**Wellbeing Wednesday**

Sometimes big feelings need a small space. 💛
A Calm Corner is a safe, cosy spot where children can pause, breathe, and self-regulate.

In this week’s carousel, we’re sharing:

🛋️ What to include
🧸 Simple ideas to get started at home

Start small — even a cushion and a cuddly toy can help kids reset.

**Motivation Monday**

It doesn’t take much to shift a whole day — just a moment of calm, a kind word, or a positive thought to start things off right.

At MiniMe Mindfulness, we show children, parents, and teachers how to build those small habits that lead to big mindset shifts.

Because little thoughts can lead to big changes.

👉 What’s your positive thought today?

❤️Mental Health Awareness Week❤️

❓I often get asked the question....

👩‍🏫Why do we teach from such an early age?

🤔Did you know our emotional blueprint & belief system is mostly formed by age 7!

🤗Giving our children the mindset tools NOW to navigate challenges, coping strategies & recognise emotions from early age will be a game changer LATER on.

🥺With upto 4 year long waiting list for various NHS mental health support, services/referrals

🏃‍♀️PREVENTION before cure.

😊We have a fun & innovative way of ensuring that our techniques are easy to understand & use effectively & immediately!
