In Anchorage 907-290-2207 or 1-888-818-1643This isn’t just emotional learning. It’s cognitive empowerment—
AND it’s also therapeutic guidance, character coaching, and lifestyle design for kids.
Mindful M3 blends the heart of therapy with the clarity of science and the magic of childhood.
Every lesson helps your child become more self-aware, more emotionally skilled, more resilient—and more themselves.
This isn’t fluff. It’s a functional framework—simple enough for a child, powerful enough to shape a life.
Guided by three charming characters—Maya Mindset, Milo Manners, and Max Movement—your child will explore how to manage emotions, solve problems, speak with kindness, move their body with purpose, and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT (AND BETTER)
Most SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) programs stop at feelings.
Mindful M3 goes deeper—into the brain, psychology AND a big focus on relationships
MINDSET + MANNERS + MOVEMENT = LIFESTYLE
THIS IS THE FORMULA.
THIS IS THE MIRROR.
THIS IS THE MAP.
In just three words, we’ve distilled the building blocks of a healthy, confident, purpose-driven human being.
The brilliance of Mindful M3 is not in how much it teaches—it’s in how clearly and kindly it connects everything your child needs to thrive.
You have been given something rare — a GOLDEN TICKET.
This is more than an invitation—it’s a golden ticket to a better future. Join a small circle of pioneers helping children feel safe in body and mind, learn with calm focus, and grow into kind, capable leaders. When schools feel safe, learning sticks, friendships deepen, and kids carry that steadiness home.
Why now
What the data says
The need is real. In 2023, ~40% of U.S. high-schoolers reported persistent sadness or hopelessness; rates were higher for girls. One in five seriously considered suicide, and nearly 1 in 10 attempted.
Adversity is common—and costly. Among U.S. adults, ~64% report at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) and ~1 in 6 report four or more, which is linked to lifelong health, learning, and safety impacts. CDC
School safety and distress remain serious. In 2023, 19% were bullied at school, 9% were threatened or injured with a weapon on campus, and 13% skipped school because they felt unsafe; about 1 in 6 were electronically bullied. CDCMC Evidence
SEL works. A landmark meta-analysis of 213 programs found an 11-percentile-point academic lift alongside better behavior and attitudes; follow-ups show benefits persisting 6 months to 18 years after programs end. PubMed+1
And it pays off. Economic analyses estimate roughly $11 in long-term benefits for every $1 invested in quality SEL. Program-level benefit–cost reviews (e.g., Second Step) also show positive expected returns.
Why Social-Emotional Learning—and Why Mindful M3
A Hero’s Journey Kids Can Live
Every child is the hero of a story in progress. The “dragon” might be a big feeling, a conflict with a friend, a tough assignment, or a restless body. Heroes need a clear path, reliable tools, and trusted guides. Without a shared practice, emotions run the day and learning stalls. With one, kids feel safe inside their own skin, connect with others, and lead themselves with confidence.
Mindful M3 turns SEL from concepts into daily heroic habits. We weave three essentials—Mindset (how I see), Manners (how I relate), and Movement (how I regulate)—into short, repeatable practices kids remember under pressure. Our friendly guides—Maya the wise owl, Milo the compassionate deer, and Max the freedom fox—coach children through micro-routines that travel from classroom to car ride to bedtime.
Made with a 9-year-old, for 9-year-olds
Mindful M3 is co-created with my 9-year-old daughter. She pressure-tests every routine in real life—morning rush, recess conflicts, homework time, bedtime wind-down—so the language lands, the timing fits, and the visuals invite kids to join in. This is a curriculum designed with children, not merely for them.
Why this matters
Kid-true language. Plain words, quick cues, and scripts children actually use.
Real-world fit. Two-minute micro-routines sized to school rhythms and family life.
Peer resonance. Kids lean in when a kid voice helps lead the way.
Home–school bridge. Practices move seamlessly from classroom to kitchen table to bedtime.
Agency and dignity. Children help build the tools they use, which increases buy-in and follow-through.
How Mindful M3 maps the Hero’s Journey
Call to Adventure: A feeling spikes, a conflict appears, attention drifts.
Allies & Tools: Maya, Milo, and Max introduce kid-ready skills—name the state, breathe, reframe, reset the body.
Training Montage: Two-minute routines build automatic skills through repetition.
The Quest: Kids use M3 in real moments—on the playground, during homework, at the dinner table.
Return with the Gift: The hero shares the win—calmer choices, kinder words, better focus—so the whole group benefits.
What makes Mindful M3 different
Built by an educator-clinician. Created by a veteran teacher with deep experience in mental and physical healthcare, integrating neuropsychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy with real classroom insight.
Clinical practices, kid-ready. Evidence-based emotional regulation and thinking skills—breathwork, body awareness, CBT reframes, sensory resets—translated into playful, two-minute routines.
One language for school + home. Scripts, visuals, and call-and-response cues keep adults and kids aligned so practice sticks beyond the lesson.
Movement that regulates. Purposeful micro-movements down-shift stress and up-shift focus, preparing the brain to learn.
Proven in private practice. These are the same methods used successfully with clients—now adapted for children and groups, field-tested daily with a real fourth-grader.
The result
Calmer classrooms. Kinder relationships. Stronger focus. Safer choices. Heroes who can name their state, shift their state, and choose their next step—on purpose.
Bring Mindful M3 to your learners. If you lead a school, homeschool, or youth program, let’s connect for a quick conversation and sample lesson. We’ll show how M3 turns “teach it once” into “live it every day”—so every child can lead their own heroic story.
