Children’s Mental Health Week

Good Morning!  Today is the start of a new week and a new month, today is the 1st of February and the beginning of ‘Children’s Mental Health week’.

We try very hard in nursery to boost children’s wellbeing from helping the children build resilience, the positive relationships that have been built and the access to outdoor play!  We understand that children, like adults have good days and a bad day now and then, this is one of the reasons we keep in touch with you all to see if there is anything we can do to support your children.

Remember these are difficult times for everyone, including your children.

This is a powerful and very helpful poster, with such a strong message that it is OK not to be ok.

Here is an E-book produced by the Scottish government you can read with your children, the story is, “There’s a Spider in My Hair”.  The book was written for children aged 3 to 5 and will help parents and carers explore with their children who they can turn to for help.  This book is also a good starting block to discuss feelings.
