Get moving Children love to dance, play, run and explore – many little ones would rather be moving than sitting still. Not only is this great for their physical strength and coordination, it’s another way for children to express their personality and feelings. Why not try holding a mini yoga session or go exploring on a nature trail? Some children will find it much easier to talk and share emotions when busy doing an activity then they would be when sat quietly.


Taking care of you It’s important to teach children that being healthy relates to both physical and mental health. Try using a cardboard cut-out of a gingerbread man (or if you are a secret Mary Berry why not bake some!) to show different emotions as well as physical attributes such as a healthy heart or clean teeth. This will open up discussions about how we stay healthy and what makes us happy or sad.
