What is Smile for five?
The idea is to use a little tweak, such as our smile, in our day to day lives that can have a profound long term impact on how we and others feel; raising those endorphins, connecting to others and being inclusive to all.
Wear me + Share me
Smile for Five asks children and their families to take on the challenge of simply sharing five smiles a day and TALKING about how that makes them feel.
What's our purpose?
By setting the Smile for Five challenge, we aim to:
- Raise awareness in actioning for our own happiness and that of others
- Empower children and their families to talk about the smile science
- Boost our children's confidence
