What we do
Clarity Kids is focused on supporting children, from Nursery through Primary School (Infant / Junior) on a range of Healthy Behaviours; focusing on health and wellness from the inside out.
Our programmes range from physical activity, healthy eating, mental health awareness and confidence coaching. From assemblies to whole school programmes, we work with children to understand:
- Healthy eating; eating a rainbow, understanding why we eat fruits and vegetables - Active movement; the benefits of activity from our physical to mental health - Talking; understanding our mental health and talking to others - Confidence; stepping out of your comfort zone is good for mind and body.
How we do it
Whole Year / Key Stage / School Assemblies ran by a Chartered Psychologist specialising in Children’s Behaviour. Classroom activities from a lesson, morning/afternoon, to a full day session with fun individual, group and classroom activities. Follow up sessions for class, year group and key stage competitions.
Why it works
Research shows children learn through play, interaction with a designated learning session, as well as educators away from their normal teaching environment. Top-down approach in children's behaviours supports not only the children who already show healthy behaviours, but benefits those that need the support without feeling singled out and ostracised. By learning through whole assembly fun, into classroom activities and group sessions, the children are nudged into health behaviours by association, familiarity and learning.
