\"\"<\/a>Welcome back to Fun Friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we are looking at encouragement<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Well done to all of you who have been learning about feelings, relaxing (and milkshake breathing) and \u2018I can do it!\u2019 (turning red thoughts green).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This week we want to set goals with children, and encourage them to gain a skill, develop self-control or overcome a fear. This is a chance for us to be brave as we take on a challenge!<\/p>\n

To achieve our goal we can break the task into smaller steps. An example is learning to complete a jigsaw puzzle:
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find the four corner pieces<\/li>\n
  2. Find the pieces with a straight edge<\/li>\n
  3. Match up the pieces with a straight edge<\/li>\n
  4. Match up pieces with the same colour and join together<\/li>\n
  5. Fill in the gaps with remaining pieces.<\/li>\n
  6. Jigsaw complete<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Can you pick a goal you would like to achieve? What will you pick?<\/p>\n

    If you can\u2019t think of a goal here are some ideas:
