It’s important to look after ourselves at all times but especially during periods of lockdown. Please remember to check our Emotional Wellbeing section for ideas on ways to stay healthy and ways to feel settled during this challenging time.
For example, The British Red Cross have produced some excellent resources to help parents and children. The resources are aimed at supporting positive emotional well-being and mental health. There are home learning resources on:
- Understanding Stress – this resource explains in simple terms what stress is and how to reduce it.
- Circles of Control – this resource helps us to understand what we can and can’t control and how understanding worries can help us to feel better.
- Meaningful Connections – this resource shows how keeping in touch with others is important to alleviate loneliness and to maintain social interaction.
These sections contain short animations to share with your children.
In addition, there is a Kindness Activity Pack which is definitely worth a look. All of these packs are available from The British Red Cross.
