For children 7–12
MindfulYoung Minds
An 8-lesson emotional-intelligence course that helps children understand and name what they feel, calm their bodies and grow in confidence — playful, practical and science-based. Built on the method Daniela developed and taught in schools in Toronto, Ontario.
Children today grow up fast, surrounded by screens, noise and pressure.
Why it matters
The skills every child needs, that school doesn't always teach
Many have big feelings and no words for them yet. Emotional intelligence — noticing, understanding and working with feelings — is a skill like any other, and it can be learned, gently and with plenty of play.
Mindful Young Minds turns those skills into something a child can actually do: name an emotion, settle their body, pause before reacting, and be kinder to themselves and to others. It is the proven approach Daniela built and taught in classrooms in Toronto and across Ontario, now offered to families in Sofia.
What children gain
- a vocabulary for their emotions
- simple, practical ways to calm down
- focus they can use at school and at home
- more confidence and self-belief
- kinder, steadier friendships
- resilience for life's ups and downs
How the course works
Three skills, built lesson by lesson
01
Understand emotions
Through stories, games and conversation, children learn to notice what they feel, give it a name and understand where it comes from — the first step to feeling in charge of it.
02
Calm the body
Simple breathing, movement and mindfulness practices that children can use anywhere — before a test, after a disagreement or at bedtime — to settle and refocus.
03
Grow confidence
Resilience, self-belief and kinder relationships, practised together in a warm, supportive group where every child is encouraged to be themselves.

groups, so every child is seen
An educational programme, not a medical or therapeutic service. Mindful Young Minds teaches emotional-intelligence skills and builds confidence through play and practice — it does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition and is not a substitute for professional care. If you have a concern about your child's health or development, please speak with your doctor or a qualified specialist.
