For those who don't know me — I'm Becca, and The Art Box is my creative mindfulness practice for children. I've been running it for several years here in Headcorn, (with a recent break due to fostering) and over that time I've seen first-hand what happens when children are given the tools to understand their own emotions. They become calmer, more confident, more resilient. Their relationships improve as does their focus and self awareness.

This summer I'm running the Creative Mindfulness Course again — and the timing feels really special, because it's aimed specifically at children who are heading into secondary school in September.

Starting secondary school is one of the biggest emotional transitions a child will face. New friendships, new pressures, a much bigger world. This eight-session course gives children a creative, gentle, genuinely fun way to build the emotional toolkit they'll need — before they walk through those gates.

Here's what the course involves:
🎨 Eight sessions of art, creativity and gentle guided meditation
💛 A beautiful comic strip story that runs through the whole course, helping children reflect on their own emotions through characters they'll love
🧠 Skills including emotional awareness, managing big feelings, understanding the body, gratitude, resilience and being a friend to yourself
✨ All designed specifically for children — so no sitting rigidly, no pressure, just creative exploration at their own pace
Parents and teachers who've seen children go through this course have told me they noticed a real difference — calmer, happier, more settled children who brought the tools home and shared them with their families.
📅 Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:30–11:45am
28th July — 20th August 2026 · 8 sessions
📍 Headcorn, Kent
👥 Maximum 6 children · Ages 10–12
Places are very limited. If you'd like to find out more or secure a space, drop me a message or comment below and I'll send you all the details. Payment plans available.
I can't wait to get back to doing what I love. 🎨

Something I've always believed, and seen proved over and over in my work, is that creativity is one of the most powerful emotional tools a child has.

When words aren't enough, making something gives feelings somewhere to go. Drawing, painting, creating — it settles the nervous system, builds focus, and gives children a quiet kind of confidence that is hard to find anywhere else.

You don't need to be good at art. You just need to be willing to make a mark.
That's what The Art Box has always been about. 🎨💛

🧠 Starting secondary school is one of the biggest emotional transitions a child will face.

New friendships to navigate. New teachers. A much bigger environment. Higher expectations. And all of it happening while they're right in the middle of some of the most intense emotional development of their lives.

Creative mindfulness gives children a toolkit for all of it — a way to process, to regulate, to understand what's going on inside them.
It's not a luxury. For this age group, it's genuinely essential.

Children are natural creators. They don't edit themselves, they don't worry about getting it wrong, they just make.

Our job is to protect that instinct for as long as possible — and to give them a safe space to keep doing it.

That's exactly what The Art Box is here for. 🎨

💛 Mindfulness doesn't have to mean sitting still and being quiet.

For children especially, mindfulness through movement and making is often far more powerful than any traditional meditation.

When a child is absorbed in drawing, painting or creating — they are completely present. Their nervous system is calm. Their mind is focused.
That IS mindfulness. And it's available to every child, regardless of ability or experience.

🎨 This week's challenge is a mindful one:

Set a timer for five minutes. Draw only what you can see from where you are sitting right now. Don't move, don't plan — just look and draw.

It doesn't matter what it looks like. What matters is that for five minutes, you were completely present.

That's your mindfulness practice for today. ✨

One of the things I love most about working with children creatively is watching the moment they stop worrying about whether it looks right.

There's always a moment — usually about ten minutes in — where they just... let go.

And what comes out after that is always the most beautiful thing in the room.

That's what this work is really about. 🎨💛
