Children’s Mental Health Week runs until Sunday and as promised today we’re sharing seven top tips on how you can help your children cope with the strains lockdown can place upon their young shoulders.
Listen
Ask them how they are feeling and listen to what they have to say.
Support
There have been difficult times for all children during lockdown, so remember a supportive word can go a long way.
Involve
Stay involved in what they are doing and show interest in their activities and opinions.
Serious
Show their feelings matter by taking what they say seriously.
Routine
Build and keep to a positive routine. Be that around bedtime, playtime or when home school starts.
Active
It’s very beneficial for children’s mental health for them to stay physically active.
Love, Love, Love
Remember ‘The child that has unconditional love has the greatest gift the world can offer.’
And as The Beatles so famously sang ‘ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE’
We hope you found those tips useful.
We’re proud to support Children’s Mental Health Week. Why not get your children involved with this years theme being EXPRESS YOURSELF!
They could dress to express, draw or paint their thoughts and feelings, even act or sing, the possibilities are endless.
