We think a positive mental health is very important, especially during a challenging time such as this.
Children can find regulating their emotions independently quite challenging, therefore we have gathered some ideas to support their mental health as well as teaching them how they can regulate their feelings, thoughts and anxieties.

Let's keep our brains and minds healthy!

Sometimes, when we feel anxious, scared, angry or overwhelmed with a range of emotions our bodies make us react. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to calm ourselves down and focus on other things.
