What is Inspiring Kids @ School?
Inspiring Kids @ School – Student Wellbeing Program promotes key aspects of SEL in a really simple kid friendly way, with a big focus on self-regulation of thoughts and emotions, nurturing resilience and fostering kindness, empathy and creativity. It has been developed and presented by award winning children’s author and child mental health advocate Josh Langley. After studying quite a few SEL programs and talking to teachers, Josh realised schools needed an easier and more flexible way to teach core SEL subjects.
SEL made simple
Inspiring Kids @ School – Student Wellbeing Program is designed to be a simple play and activate program, using short engaging videos, easy to read books and simple fun activities. The lessons can be short (as short as 10 minutes) or a teacher can expand it out to 20 or 30 minutes.
SEL made flexible
Inspiring Kids @ School – Student Wellbeing Program puts teachers and students first by entrusting teachers to deliver the program in the best way to achieve effective outcomes for their students.
The program is completely flexible and can be adapted to suit each teacher’s classroom, teaching style and student dynamic.
It can be delivered to the whole class, small groups or used in one-on-one sessions.
Special Needs Education Assistants are already using the program with small groups and one on ones to instigate important conversations.

What teachers and schools have been saying
"Thank you so much for letting me trial your Inspiring Kids at School Program. I absolutely love everything about it!!🥰 The videos, the conversation starters, the activities, the activity sheets, the layout, the fonts 😂 - it is just brilliant! I can’t wait to try it out with some kids. Congratulations"
“I have loved using your program and books in my Health lessons!! Definitely keen to use it again next year. Hoping to program them into our whole-school Faction Friends lessons.”
“Loving the program! I have been working with my classroom so far, split them into three groups so a nice safe chat zone. I’m really finding the videos a great opener for discussion.”
"I am using the program during my homeroom sessions where we either watch a video, or discuss what we watched previously. The kid's are really enjoying this and I am choosing videos to match anything that is going on at school at the time (for example, one student had a bit of a meltdown over losing a game, so we watched the video about emotions and that we all have them, it is how we choose to show them etc. This was a great session and the student really took some great strategies away from this which was excellent). I am also using your visuals in a 'thought of the week' capacity, giving the kids a focus."
"I love how simple it is and how easy it will be for teachers (and schools) to implement."
"The message you are giving to kids and adults through your wonderful books, online presence and programmes is priceless ✨ You sure are…“a rainbow in someone’s cloud’"
“At a time when our students are in most need of emotional resilience and positive mental attitudes, many schools are faced with tighter budgets and crowded curricula. Josh Langley's 'Inspiring Kids', with its complete approach to a simple and easy to implement program, as well as a reasonable cost, will be very welcome.“
“Having worked with thousands of children over the decades; I know kids need this! Josh has developed a program that sets kids up to develop crucial and foundational life skills. The modules are highly engaging, and personable; with content that really speaks to children’s hearts and minds. With the Josh Langley trademark quirks, and fun; you won’t find another program like it; it truly is one of a kind”
“I've used Josh's books in so much of my teaching. His simple, genuine and entertaining way of explaining feelings to kids and adults alike is pure genius. I'm very excited about his new program, where his magic way of teaching kindness and self-awareness continues”
"Josh has the most magical way of talking about the things that matter."
