• Course overview



    Eligibility: This course is open to South Gloucestershire Early Years Settings, Childminders and Reception and nursery class teachers.

    The Five to Thrive model is a way of understanding how connected relationships are fundamental to human wellbeing and help us to build resilient communities.  Research in neuroscience is transforming how we think about wellbeing and resilience.  One of the key findings is that people need people.  Five to Thrive identifies a sequence of five activities that build healthy brains through mindful co-regulation and mindful co-learning: RESPOND - ENGAGE - RELAX - PLAY - Talk.  This sequence can be observed whenever humans are relating with loving connectedness, so Five to Thrive identifies a key sequence in the formation of attachment relationships.  Feeling safe relies on brain functions that are developed through secure attachment relationships, and feeling safe enables our brains to function optimally throughout life.
