Create a safe space for emotional expression at home. We use 'mood meters' in class, and they work brilliantly at home too! Ask open questions like 'What was the best part of your day?' or 'What made you feel proud today?' during dinner or bedtime routines.

Some of my favourite suggestions for family wellbeing: weekend nature walks, cooking healthy meals together, family game nights, and mindful colouring. These activities not only promote health but also strengthen family bonds. My pupils love sharing their weekend adventure stories!

Finding the right balance with screen time can be tricky! We recommend the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Also, try to ensure screens don't interfere with physical activity, homework, or family time.

Campaigning for change

We fight to change laws to make society safer for children. Our Wild West Web campaign has pushed for new regulations through the Online Safety Bill to make sure websites, apps and games are safe for children to use. But the draft Bill doesn't go far enough to protect children.
Help us end the Wild West Web

As a teacher, I can always tell when children haven't had enough sleep! Establish a consistent bedtime routine: aim for 9-11 hours of sleep, limit screen time before bed, and try relaxing activities like reading or gentle stretching. A well-rested child is a happy learner!

We practice mindfulness daily in our classroom, and it's made such a difference! Try simple breathing exercises with your child - we use the 'finger breathing' technique where children trace their fingers while breathing in and out. It's brilliant for managing big emotions!

Stuck for packed lunch ideas? Here's what I recommend to parents at my school: Include a portion of fruit and veg, protein-rich foods, dairy, and wholegrains. Try to avoid processed snacks. Involving children in packing their lunch can make them more interested in healthy eating!

The UK guidelines recommend children get at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily. Here's a lovely mix of activities my pupils enjoy: walking to school, playground games, swimming, and cycling. Remember, it doesn't have to be all at once - breaking it up throughout the day works brilliantly!
