How to stay calm with kids at home with Alice Peel

Alice Peel is the co-founder of Grow Your Mind, a primary school teacher and has a huge passion for wellbeing. Grow Your Mind's mission is to bring the world of positive psychology and wellbeing to schools and homes. I first heard of them when Clara (then 4yrs old) came home from school and told me about her guard dog in her brain called the amygdala. The next day I rocked up to childcare and Grow Your Mind resources were everywhere and I was blown away how they were teaching kids about resilience, mindfulness and growth mindset at such a young age. If you are a parent, aunt, uncle or grandparent, don’t miss this podcast. You need to know Grow Your Mind!
