A summary
Each day will be different in terms of the content but the structure will be similar: - Each day children will learn about two of their internal superpowers. Strategies that will help them to build their confidence, their resilience or to recognise and regulate their emotions. - Children will learn how to meditate, through guided meditation. Using the voices of either Oscar, or Annie - two children. - Children will play games, listen to stories and discuss their ideas based on the superpowers of the day. - Children will create crafts based on the superpowers of the day. - Children will also be able to access the 'Croft on the Heath' which is the school's forest school. - Each day will include movement games to encourage children to move their bodies.
About your mentors
MiniMe Mindfulness - Staffordshire and Derbyshire
Positive mindfulness & mindset superpowers.
In today’s fast-paced world of distraction, technology and comparison, it is vitally important that we help children to create and maintain a healthy mind. So many children have been negatively impacted by the global pandemic and have navigated loss of human interaction, home schooling and resulting challenges. Thoughts control our actions, which can determine our success and happiness. What can we do to make sure children are happy, grateful, confident, intentional with their actions, excited about the future and able to understand and communicate feelings and emotions? Positive mindfulness and mindset could be part of the solution. Mindfulness is commonly viewed as a way to fix a physiological discomfort or difficulty such as stress, anxiety or pain. There are many fabulous mindfulness programmes that serve in this area, such as, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Our approach is different. We teach positive mindfulness techniques, not focussing on ‘fixing’ children but helping every child flourish. We invite all children to onboard positive mindfulness and mindset ‘superpowers’ to feel more love, happiness, resilience, internal calm, focus and confidence.

As a Primary School Teacher with over 20 years experience, I have a keen interest in understanding children’s mental health and wellbeing. I am delighted to have the opportunity to be a Mindset Mentor with MiniMe Mindfulness Staffordshire & Derbyshire and am looking forward to making a positive difference in the lives of young people: equipping them with the skills to look after their mental health whilst having fun!
Karen Vickers
MiniMe Mindfulness Mentor
Hi I'm Karen, MiniMe Mindfulness Mentor. I am deeply committed to promoting the emotional well-being of children. I value practicing mindfulness daily myself. I'm also a qualified complimentary therapist and in my free time I enjoy hikes with my husband and our gorgeous cockapoo, Molly. Playing with my grandchildren brings me lots of joy, especially when it involves a bit of messiness.
