The M.Y.T.E programme (MYTE stands for 'manage your thoughts and emotions') has been developed to support children with their mental and emotional health. Studies have shown that 2.4 million children, aged 6 - 11 (9.6%) and 3.3 million (13.6%), aged 12 – 16, have been diagnosed with ADHD. And multiple more children are suffering with anxiety and depression. Drugs are prescribed to children for these aliments... but we’re yet to understand how these medications could affect children as they age. What we do know is that as children grow their early emotional experiences become embedded in the structure of their brain, and suppressed negative emotional experiences, leads on to health problems later in life, such as anxiety and depression. A child's brain continues to develop and change into adulthood, however, the first 7 years of brain development builds the foundation for future learning, health and success. Introducing the M.Y.T.E programme....
A programme created to provide children with some simple, yet effective tools and techniques, (things they can do in the moment), to manage their emotions so they feel better in themselves. "Using the tools and techniques in the M.Y.T.E programme, a child's confidence and self-esteem will grow. They will learn how to better manage their thoughts and feelings, and it will help them to believe in themselves and their abilities, now and in the future." - M.Y.T.E Mission
