Health and Wellbeing
Physical and Mental Health and Wellbeing are so important for everyone at this time, this includes our youngest children. They are not following their ‘normal’ routine and structure and they may be unable to communicate and articulate how they are feeling or able to comprehend the situation.
What they need at this time is plenty of reassurance from the adults in their life.
Be calm yourself – try your best to keep calm as children often pick up on adult’s worries and stress and take their cues on how to act in situations from the adults around them. It is important to show that even though you are worried too you are not overwhelmed by worry.
If you are struggling to keep calm yourself, think if there is someone else you know who you could talk to. Make sure you look after your own wellbeing too to allow you to support your child.
