“I Can’t to I Can” is a new FREE resource which aims to build confidence, resilience and self-esteem in young children by providing them with a mental wellbeing toolkit.

Having learnt these simple mind hacks, children will understand how to master their own feelings and instead of listening to their inner critic telling them they can’t, they will call on their inner cheerleader, that little voice everyone has inside them who will tell them they can and encourage them to keep going even when life gets a bit overwhelming.

The 5 Day Challenge was created by RTT Method in response to the increase in anxiety being experienced amongst young children. It includes everything a school needs to implement five days of lessons, each around 30 minutes a day.

Last year we launched a competition during Children's Mental Health Week, for schools across the UK to get their Class Cheerleaders made into big soft toys. The winner for the north of England, Aston Fence Junior and Infants School in Sheffield, created Champion Cheerleading Charlie whose wings represent flying to success, arms that knock away negative thoughts and a face to make people smile.

Wessex Gardens Primary School in London was the winner for the south of England, with Gingie the Donut, who colourfully represents the diversity of class, race and gender, and whose favourite thing is eating. His sprinkles represent the children’s positive affirmations and flags of their home countries.

Our lesson plans are based around RTT®, which has been successfully used in schools to help children with anxiety and a lack of confidence.

All a school has to supply is the teacher and some paper and art materials.
