MiniMe Mindfulness is celebrating it's 6th birthday this month!

Started during the pandemic by our founder Tessa Hawes as a facebook live support for families and their mental wellbeing, quickly turned into us being listed as a top 10 online resource by the Telegraph.

As soon as lockdown lifted, Tessa set to work. Not only with teaching MiniMe Mindfulness in her own children's school, but in creating and refining our neuroscience backed content with the help of mindfulness practitioners, clinical professionals and children's specialists.

Fast forward 6 years and our award winning MiniMe Mindfulness CIC has impacted quite literally thousands upon thousands of children up and down the country, with more MiniMe Mindfulness mindset mentors and franchisees coming on board.

Here's to another 6 years and beyond!

If you or your child has been a part of our journey so far, then THANKYOU!!!

We have now also launched our wellbeing rescources for parents and teachers, ensuring everyone can access the support they need whilst keeping the children firmly at the center.

👱🏻‍♀️"So what's our superpower this week kids?!"

"FAILURE!"

👱🏻‍♀️"And why is that a superpower?!"

"Because it means we are growing and trying and the more we fail, the more we learn!"

👱🏻‍♀️"🙌🙌🙌"

This week some of the children have been learning their mindset superpower of "failing forward". Such a goodie!

If all children could learn that making mistakes can be celebrated, that trying and not getting there is better than not trying at all and that 'failing' is a perfect opportunity to pause, review, refine and practise....Well, just imagine ❤️

Whether we agree with them or not, SATS are just around the corner for our year 6 mini's.

Last year we created a SATs Calm Kit™ to help parents and schools with an optional support - to build confidence, calm and a knowing that their best is good enough.

The thinking behind our kits:

- Calm confidence grows through reassurance, modelling, and steady routines.

- Children should know that effort is way more impressive than results.

- Cultivating a growth mindset - knowing that their future is not fixed on a single result!

Would you like some more info? If so comment SATS and I will pop a link over to you to take a look at.

In our lunchtime club at Newquay Primary Academy today, we learned all about our mindset superpower *AFFIRMATIONS*
The children had great fun inventing their power poses, reading out their affirmations and saying them into our magic mirror.
Did you know that positive affirmations can change how we feel along with rewiring negative thought patterns?
Affirmations are even more powerful when said to ourselves in a mirror (with a smiley face ideally!).
Today's session was perfect timing for one of our Mini's, who shot out of the door straight afterwards for a rugby match...shouting "I AM CONFIDENT" at the top of her lungs! 🥰

Would you like some affirmation suggestions for your MiniMe? Comment below and I will share some age appropriate ones with you.

A huge reason why I started this business and retrained, was because I wanted to learn tools for my own children.
It's been a particularly tricky time with school recently...so I've put together some tips incase they help you too!

1) When the day begins, solely focus on 'the next step'.
"Now you're awake, let's just take the next step and have a cuddle...Let's take the next step and make some breakfast" etc etc. Banish the overwhelm and stick to each step, one by one, calmly.

2) Have something new to look forward to.
Did you know that novelty boosts dopamine? Think of any new, unexpected or stimulating experiences your child can do or have. This will enhance motivation, improve mood and can help combat anxiety. Invite a friend for a playdate after school, or let them choose something novel to add into their packed lunch.

3) After school, prioritise space and peace to just 'be'.
If you can get straight out into nature, do! Avoid asking about their day unless they start the conversation. Keep some paper and pens out at the table - you'll be amazed how much drawing can help to regulate and calm the nervous system.

4) Schedule earlier bedtimes to allow for chats and offloading.
This is usually where the day pours out for my children. The good, the bad and the ugly! Finally a chance to offload, in the dark and the quiet. Whether there's tears, anger, laughter...it's all OK. The best thing for them is to let it all out. Usually things are resolved, sometimes they're not. That's OK.

5) Finish the night with gratitude, affirmations and the 5 senses.
It sounds like a lot, but I promise it's not!
1 thing they are grateful for, 1 affirmation "I like myself", "I'm doing my best and that's good enough", "I am calm"...there are so many good ones!
And finally the senses - What can you hear, what can you see, what can you taste, what can you feel, what can you smell? This is SUCH a powerful mindfulness tool to bring the them back to the present, promote relaxation and wellbeing.

Finally...

6) Look after yourself! Often, keeping ourselves regulated is the hardest but most important point of all. Deep breaths. Give yourself a hug (honestly!) It WILL pass.

This little one has been attending my sessions for almost a year now at
When these mindset and mindfulness skills seep into every day life at the age of 6....Well, what can I say! Our mission is valid, important and most importantly - it's working!
Thank you to the awesome Mum that shared this incredibly heartwarming story with me...and to Trenance for opening your doors to MiniMe Mindfulness 💫

Research consistently shows that early emotional skills are linked to improved academic performance, stronger peer relationships and reduced long-term risk of mental health difficulties.

Extending huge gratitude to all of the schools and parents in mid Cornwall that trust in me to play a part in helping to support their children each and every week.

I really do have the best job ever!

Children’s Mental Health Week 💛

At MiniMe Mindfulness, this week isn’t just a campaign moment.

It’s why we exist.

Every day, we see children navigating big feelings in small bodies.

Anxiety before school.
Friendship fallouts.
Overwhelm they don’t yet have words for.

And too often, those feelings show up as behaviour — not because children are “difficult”, but because they are dysregulated.

Mental health support cannot start at crisis point.
It must start with prevention.

Through structured mindfulness sessions and mindset mentoring, we help children to:

✨ Understand their emotions
✨ Build confidence
✨ Develop self-regulation tools
✨ Strengthen resilience
✨ Create calm in moments of stress

These are not “soft skills.”
They are lifelong skills.

When a child learns how to pause, breathe and respond — rather than react — we are shaping healthier classrooms, families and communities.

Children’s Mental Health Week is a reminder that emotional wellbeing deserves consistent investment, not occasional attention.

To the schools, partners, funders and families who believe in early intervention — thank you!

And to every child learning that their feelings are valid and manageable — we see you. 💛
