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.

Attached below, are some breathing technique cards that can help us focus on our breathing which supports our calmness. Focusing on breathing can distract you from the overwhelming emotions you may feel or allow you to simply focus.

# data[].attributes.body
Having time to focus on our minds keeps our minds and brains happy an healthy. Meditation can provide an opportunity for this. During meditation our mind can empty our thoughts in a calm and relaxing environment.

It can be easy to think about all the things we can't yet do. However, with a growth mindset anything is possible. Think about all of the positives in your learning and how you can overcome a challenge.
