What is PATHS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies<\/strong> is a Health and Wellbeing
\nprogramme. It aims to help children to be aware of their feelings, to be able
\nto talk about them and to find good ways of dealing with uncomfortable
\nfeelings. It also teaches the children problem solving skills and helps them to
\ndevelop good relationships with their peers.
\nEach week the children will have a circle time where they will have the
\nopportunity to learn about and discuss their feelings, with the help of
\nTwiggle and his puppet friends.<\/p>\n

As part of this time the children are going to be learning about
\ncompliments. Each week a child will be chosen to be Twiggle\u2019s special helper
\nand will receive compliments from the rest of the children that will be
\nwritten up and given home at the end of the week in a special certificate.
\nWhen it is your child\u2019s turn, we ask that you would also share a compliment<\/span><\/p>\n

with them. We hope that this will help the children to develop in their self
\nesteem and the support and respect they show each other as friends<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some suggestions of things you can be doing at home to support<\/em><\/strong>
\nand develop this learning;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Talk to your child about their feelings
\n\u2022 Encourage them to name their feelings
\n\u2022 Ask them how they know someone is feeling a particular way by looking
\nfor facial clues
\n\u2022 Ask them to give you real life examples of how they feel so they can
\nlink their experiences to their feelings.
\n\u2022 Encourage them to recognise how other people might be feeling, e.g.
\nfamily members or characters in books or films<\/p>\n
