As parents, many of you may be struggling or finding yourselves pulled in different directions. Young Minds have created a useful 'Supporting Parents Helpfinder'. By answering six questions, parents can find out how to support their child's mental health.

We are proud to be on the journey to becoming a Simon Says Champion School for bereavement. This means we have worked closely with the bereavement charity Simon Says to create a bereavement awareness culture. This includes staff training, the development of a bereavement toolkit and access to expert guidance and community support to help us address the needs of bereaved children and their families.

Daily wellbeing activities to do with your children.

Breathing Buddies

Ask your child to lie down on the floor and put a stuffed animal on their stomach. Ask them to breathe in silence for one minute and notice how their Breathing Buddy moves up and down, and any other sensations they notice. Ask them to imagine that any thoughts that come into their head turn into bubbles and float away. Having a Breathing Buddy there makes the meditation more friendly and shows the children that a playful activity doesn’t have to be noisy.
