Schools across the country have started using Stix to help teach emotional regulation strategies to children, with our range of mindfulness activities to reduce anxiety, improve focus and create calmer working environments.
1 in 5 children have diagnosable mental health issue, we want to fix that.
We've teamed up with psychologists to develop and test our activities with children, aiming to support children’s emotional regulation, reduce anxiety and improve daily focus.
Stix activities last 3-5 minutes, offering sensory brain breaks that fit seamlessly into your classroom schedule—before, during, or after lessons.
Stix makes mindfulness digestible and easy to adopt into daily routines, helping improve classroom focus.
Stix helps children identify and manage their emotions, improving self-regulation with each activity.

We love using Stix at Dormers Wells, from supporting children with neurodiversity challenges, to practising mindfulness as a whole class, they’re designed for everyone!
The benefits were very obvious after they used the Stix. One child in particular, who was getting anxious during the year 6 SATS exams and had to be removed for a short period from the tests - The Belly Breathing and Rainbow Painting activities really helped to calm her down and made her feel comfortable about restarting her exam.
If an angry or frustrated child was identified, I would send them to the sensory room, where Stix was located, to give them time to unwind. It was a really effective tool as it allowed pupils to regulate their own emotions independently, which is pretty impressive, and allowed me to carry on teaching.
One child in particular used the Stix after returning from a football match angry and frustrated. He used the Stix to calm down and focus, returning to the classroom calm and ready to start his learning. You could instantly see that he had better control of his emotions after using Stix.
It has been wonderful to be able to use Stix with some of my Year 1 and 2 children. The stress and pressure we put on children from a very young age can be very overwhelming, but the Stix activities help relieve some of that stress and teach them skills that they can use throughout their school careers and in daily life.
Pretty much straight away the positive engagement with the app was apparent; both boys LOVED building their monster, giving it a name and having a look to see what cool features we could work towards buying. I think Stix have a very important place within a primary setting and I would recommend them to other teachers.
