Hi Everyone,

We are aware that as lockdown continues we all need to look out for one another and especially our children. The sudden change and the uncertainty are difficult for all of us but can be particularly challenging for children as routines and structures have been changed and many of them miss their friends, wider family members and staff and even learning the way they are used to.

This week many of the classes will be reminding children of the importance of being kind during this time and to be aware of their feelings and the feelings of others.

However I also thought it would be helpful to post some ideas for parents about how you can help your child find their way through this. It might be that your children are fine and loving this time,  that’s great, but I don’t think this is true for everyone.  Each day I will add a poster which I think may be helpful. They are all taken from the following blog:https://www.epinsight.com/

The first poster is about self-care. Children can be demanding and it is important that to be able to take care of their needs we also look after our own. self care (click link to see full size)
