All for World Mental Health Day
| | | | Here's a helping hand for being kind to your mind. |
|
| October 10 is World Mental Health Day, so we are sharing some simple tips on how we can teach children (and ourselves) to be kind to our minds!
If you're looking for gentle ways to teach your children about their emotional wellbeing this Calm Kids collection of shows is a great place to start.
These rituals around rest and relaxation can help children wind down and rejuvenate, both in Early Education & Care Centres or at home.
And because even Big Ted needs a moment, Play School's Mindfully Me has some wonderful ideas, games and educational resources to help us take a deep breath and slow down.
Being a busy parent, carer, or Educator means we can forget about our own mental health needs. So here are 40 practical things you can do for your own wellbeing (whether you're in lockdown or not).
Wishing you a great week ahead! |
