The 'Introduction' videos are a good place to start to find out about using the Daily 5 in the classroom. These can be found in the 'Free Content' section, or in the 'Introduction Videos' page in the subscriber 'Full Access' section. The Daily 5 is our main Resilience Training programme at That Thing I Do. Each video lasts about 10 minutes, with each one designed to be used and repeated for a week. Each of the five steps in The Daily 5 provide a tool for developing and teaching resilience.

Each Step of The Daily 5 is a tool to help teach and develop resilience. Some of the Steps focus on mental resilience, some on physical resilience, and some on both. Step 1 is THINK: How am i feeling? A simple repetitive question to help us think about how we are feeling. It takes time and practice to answer this question and become more self-aware ...even grown-ups struggle to know how we are actually feeling a lot of the time! Step 2 is to JUMP: Time to play the drums and the funky music! Let's get the body moving, the heart rate up and get physically fitter and stronger! Step 3 is to STRETCH AND BREATHE: Let's take a deep breath and do some stretching and breathing to help us regulate and calm our body, while building strength. We focus on a 'pose' to help with stretching. The 'Breakdown The Pose' video for the week's Stretch and Breath pose is essential viewing to help teach our simple mindfulness technique: 'The Butterfly Mind'! By simply imagining that our focus and attention is a butterfly, we can more easily choose where our focus is and how to move our attention from one thing to another. Step 4 is to FIND MY ANCHOR: Developing mental resilience means knowing how deal with the tricky feelings and emotions. We focus on our theme word and become mindful of what this word (or phrase) means. Doing this helps us learn and recognise helpful thoughts and feelings through the theme for the week, and how they can help with tricky feelings and emotions. Step 5 is READY AND RESILIENT: After going through our Steps we then must get ready to transition back into our day. We are becoming more ready and resilient, able to return to our day!

We care first and foremost about the emotional and physical wellbeing of children and young people, and each member of the TTID teams knows and has personal experience of how important this is in our own lives. Go to the 'About Us' section to find out a little bit more about who we are. Sarah, our Resilience Trainer, is a full time Primary School teacher and knows our content works becuase she does it and uses it every day in her own classroom. She has developed and refined her approach over a number of years. After first trying different strategies to help individuals wtihin her class. She then found that combining these things she did together, and using them with the whole class, it became clear that the whole class benefited greatly from what we now call 'The Daily 5'. Sarah has qualifications in ASD, counselling and kid's yoga (to specifically help with the TTID stretching exercises). She has found bringing all these skills together in the classroom, helps to meet many of the wide range of needs that every classroom has.

You get to decide how you want to use That Thing I Do! But, if you want to know how we think it works best, find out by watching 'An Introduction to The Daily 5' video and the other Introduction videos. We are planning more detailed 'How to Use' videos that will be available for the start of the 2021/2022 school year - but read below for a quick summary of what we recommend: Each week of The Daily 5 has a theme word to focus on as we explore how to become more resilient. Week 1 is 'Courage'. The Daily 5 works best when repeated up to 5 times each week. Repition is key! We recommend aiming to use each Daily 5 for three of the 5 days in the school week, and on the other days, try exploring the other videos associated with the topic for the week An example for during the: Week 1: Monday: The Daily 5 - 1. Courage Tuesday: Movement Break, Breath Break, Breakdown The Pose - 1. Courage Wednesday: The Daily 5 - 1. Courage Thursday: Movement Break, Breath Break, Breakdown The Pose - 1. Courage Friday: The Daily 5 - 1. Courage

When you select a video, our Video Player takes the first 10 seconds to detect how good your internet connection speed is, and decides what the best resolution is to play the rest of the video at. If your internet connection is good, then there should not be any problems. If you do find some buffering causing unwanted pausing during playback, try selecting your video and waiting at least 10 seconds for the video to load before starting to play it. Note: A 10 minute Daily 5 video, in Full HD is a 600-800MB file, so it's pretty big! The Daily 5 'Standard Defintion' videos are available if the above steps do not work. If you continue to experience playback problems, please contact us.

Our full programme of Resilience Training centres around 'The Daily 5' - there are currently 18 week's of Daily 5 videos, each with a coresponding 'Breakdown The Pose' video. There are individual videos for just Movement Breaks and Breath Breaks, that can be used at any time, in any order. There is a Classroom Study Music player that contains many of the original TTID music tracks.

Simply hover over the 'FULL ACCESS' TAB at the top of the website and click on content you are looking for (eg 'Movement Breaks'). Each type of video or other media has its own page. There you will find a media player containing all current content for that section.

At the top of the site, in the 'More' section of the menu, you will find 'Cirriculum Links'. We currently have details on the TTID and the Northern Irish Primary cirriculum where TTID was first trialled in schools. We will be providing different National Cirriculum links in the future.
