Therefore the Wellbeing Team have some tips and advice for our families.
- Tell others what you appreciate about them and what they do for you.
- Help out at home- offer to do jobs/ chores before being asked to.
- Keep learning- read different types of books, do Linguascope and Times Tables Rock Stars, learn to play a musical instrument, learn a new sport.
- Do activities other people in your family like to do (even if you don't).
- Put plans into a calendar and have routines at home.
- Keep up your hygiene- brush your teeth, have a bath or shower regularly, don't wear dirty/ smelly clothes.
- Do arts and crafts, with other people and by yourself- drawing, painting, making things.
- Remember to eat your fruit and vegetables. Don't always have 'naughty' snacks.
- Check out the school website for the Transition Booklets to remind yourself about your class and teacher in September.
- Do nice things for your family- give them a massage, do your mum's hair, bake them some biscuits, make them a card.
- If someone is sad, cheer them up by telling them a joke and making them laugh.
- Get lots of sleep. It helps our bodies and minds recover and reset. Young people need 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night.
- Stay in touch with your friends- invite them over to play, arrange to meet them somewhere like a park or library, call them/ Face Time with them on the phone.
- Go out for the day- fun fair, cinema, museum's, beach, park, playground, swimming, bowling, walk in the woods, picnic.
- Spend time with friends and family- at parties, BBQ's, playing football, playing board games, playing card games, movie nights, doing some yoga, walking around Danson Park.
- A digital detox. Try to spend less time on devices.
- Positive reinforcement. Say nice things to other people, but also yourself. "I am funny," "You are kind," "I am good at cooking," "You are a great dancer."
- Spend time on your own just chilling out.
- Share your thinking- good communication is so important in our lives. The more you can describe your thoughts and feelings, the easier it will be for others to see your point of view.
- Dance and sing!
