Hello everyone! We hope you are staying safe, staying healthy and staying happy.
This week (1st Feb – 7th Feb) we celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme is Express Yourself! It’s important to remember that children’s mental health matters just as much as ours – particularly during these hard times where the little ones can’t see some of their family and their friends.
This week, we’ll be talking all about our feelings and emotions and taking the time to make us feel good and happy!
Let’s start with some exercising which definitely makes our body produce lots of happy and healthy feelings! Are you ready? One, two, three…
And here is a very good song to keep moving and dancing! Here it comes…
Ahh that was fun! Now I think we can have a little rest. And what’s a better way to rest than having a little drink of water, maybe even a snack and a story…
And just as the Koala could… YOU CAN, too! 🙂
Well, boys and girls. We really really hope it made you feel even a little bit happier. But we are so curious to hear what your thoughts…
- What makes you happy?
- What do you like to do to make yourself feel better if you’re having not a great day or if something annoys you?
- What can you do to make others feel good?
Let us know in the comments – we can’t wait to hear all about it!
Now to the adults who are reading this – here are some very useful posters that tell you about different ways that children handle their mental health:
And please, remember – your children’s mental health is just as important as your own, so please remember to take care and take some time for yourself, too! In fact, when the little ones are doing their exercises or having a story – why don’t you grab a cuppa and put your feet up and relax? 🙂
