Supporting children’s wellbeing
My Wellbeing Diary is an evidence-based, whole-school approach to wellbeing grounded in the SPHE curriculum. During these uncertain times, it is an excellent tool to help children develop their emotional literacy, resilience and promote healthy attitudes to sleep, food and exercise.
“It’s one of the best things I’ve ever brought in the door of the classroom. It is so straightforward, it’s a lovely programme to teach.”
Watch this video for the details of My Wellbeing Diary.
My Wellbeing Diary includes:

- 10 learning modules covering each aspect of wellbeing – one for each month from September to June.
- An online Teacher's Guide with curriculum mapping, notes for parents and detailed lesson plans as well as PowerPoint presentations to support the teaching of each learning module.
- Videos to support the development of mindfulness, including belly breathing, body scan and thought diffusion.
