Introducing 'We Eat Elephants' — Building Emotional Resilience for Young Minds! 🐘

Attention mental health champions, those working in school education, or anyone working with primary school age children! The 'We Eat Elephants' (WEE) course by Living Life to the Full is a fantastic resource to help teach life skills and improve well-being.

What’s in the WEE course?

Two age-appropriate programmes...

Ages 5–8 — Grounded in storytelling and playful scenarios via characters like Adam, Beth, Chloe, and Deepak. Focuses on helping kids understand basic emotions through colouring tasks, feelings cards, and interactive handouts.
Ages 9–12 — Builds on 'understanding your feelings' to include coping strategies like:

* Doing things that lift mood
* Adjusting thought patterns ('looking at things differently')
* Practical problem‑solving
* Relaxation techniques like tension control training

Why 'We Eat Elephants'?
A fun metaphor... giant problems—like elephants—can feel manageable when you take them in small, bite-sized chunks. The course creatively breaks emotional challenges into doable steps.

Designed for educators and professionals
This isn’t a tool for kids to use unsupervised. It’s designed for teachers, mental health practitioners, CAMHS staff, school counsellors, and voluntary organisations who work directly with children in structured settings.

Why this matters in schools...

Helps children articulate emotions and boost emotional literacy
Supports mental health with accessible Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques
Flexible delivery—great for whole-class sessions, small group work, or individual support
Engaging formats—stories, visuals, activity sheets—which appeal to a range of learners and can enhance participation in PSHE/wellbeing lessons

The course is available as a 12‑month licensed teaching resource, inclusive of slides, trainer notes, and learner handouts—accessible via a licensed portal.

Empower your primary school’s emotional well-being curriculum with WEE! Give young learners tools to understand and manage their feelings—one gentle step at a time.
