Meet The Brain Friends!
At MTFK we use The Brilliant Brain Friends to help us make sense of emotional reactions and brain chemistry. This helps to normalise responses like fight, flight and freeze, giving kids a greater understanding of what is going on inside!
Imagine your brain as having 3 key parts. They function best when they work as part of a team -together as your Brilliant Brain Friends. Lenny Lizard runs the body, Milo runs the emotions and Orla runs the thinking part.
"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think" - Margaret Mead
Hi I'm Emily, the founder of MTFK
Hi, I’m Emily Harbrecht, Founder, Head Coach and Trainer at Mind Tools for Kids. I have spent the last 15 years building a toolbox of strategies and resources to help families and schools navigate BIG emotions and life's challenges.
I am a mother of two and have weathered many storms along my journey. From neurodivergent parenting, challenges within the school system to rebuilding life as a blended family, I have been there in the trenches. It is my life's work to help children, parents and teachers move from surviving to thriving.
I like to keep things simple, non judgmental and practical - giving you what you need to move forwards feeling better, stronger and more capable to handle the curveballs. I believe that we are all inherently resourceful people, doing our best with what we know. You just need the tools and I am here to provide them! Come and join me!
