What this Trial Is About

The goal of this trial is to learn if listening daily to online hypnosis exercises helps to improve mental health and self-esteem in primary school children. In the future we also hope to see if it can prevent feelings of depession or anxiety when these children have become teenagers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. can daily listening to these exercsies improve self-esteem, resilience and mental health of children 10-11 years compared to children who do not listen to these exercises? 2. can listening to these exercsies prevent future metal health problems like feelings of depression or anxiety. Researchers will compare a group of children (10-11 years) who will listen daily to the exercises for 2 months with a group who will do that 6 months later. Participants will: Listen daily to a hypnosis exercise of maximum 15 minutes. Fill out questionnaires on self-esteem, resilience and mental health before during and after the study.
