Video content - main session
A Mind of Their Own is a 2-hour session that is made up of film clips and discussion questions. This session aims to provide parents with:
- A realisation that resilience can be learnt, and nurtured in the small, everyday moments of family life.
- Knowledge, confidence and practical ideas on how to help children process setbacks and bounce forward in strength, character and development.
- Insight into children’s brain development.
- An understanding that learning how to experience failure in a safe environment will improve their confidence and problem-solving skills.
- An appreciation of how vital your child’s identity is, and strategies to help them become confident in it.

Bolt-on video content
We are aware that a session like this cannot cover every topic that every parent and child may be facing. Some topics are very specific, some are more sensitive, and some include details that wouldn’t be relevant to every family.
We have filmed a variety of interviews with our speakers and professionals as they cover some of these specific topics in more detail.
Parents, carers and other significant adults that attend your course can access these videos via a QR code and link in the back of the Session Notes booklet. We recommend giving a copy of these Session Notes to each person that attends the session.
