The Children’s Society My Life 4 Schools
My Life 4 Schools is a free, interactive online resource for primary school teachers in England. Developed and maintained by The Children's Society it was created in association with The Children’s Society’s 2006-09 Good Childhood Inquiry, which opened an inclusive debate on what makes for a good childhood today.

My Life 4 Schools helps children aged 7 to 11 (Key Stage 2) to develop the skills they need for a healthy, happy childhood. The resource has been developed in consultation with primary school teachers and supports:
 * the National Curriculum in England for Citizenship and Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)
 * The UK Government’s Every Child Matters policy
 * Social & Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL)

The resources explore the areas highlighted in the Good Childhood report A Good Childhood: Searching for Values in a Competitive Age as making the most important contributions to a good childhood:


 * Family
 * Friends
 * Lifestyle
 * Values
 * Schooling
 * Mental Health
 * Inequalities

In each section there are online animated activities, as well as downloadable worksheets, lesson plans and teachers’ notes.
