📱By video calling rather than messaging friends and family, your child can get involved and build their communication skills. Babies can have lovely back and forth interactions when the friends and family copy their sounds and actions or even play Peek-a-boo! 😛🫣😂

Did you know that Peek-a-boo can help your baby learn to:
🌟 take turns
🌟look and listen
🌟 know that if you are out of sight, that you will come back

💡For more information about making the most of using screens with your child, check out the Parent Club website:

It’s such a lovely day that Rachel and Tracey from the Play team decided to take play outside in Castle Mey ward. Patients can “water paint” or chalk on the walls or easels.🩵

HPS Emily from Lochranza also took play outside today with painting on cling film so patients could do some messy play 🩵

If you notice that your teen seems down or withdrawn, it may be because they’re feeling lonely.

Even if they have lots of friends or if they’re surrounded by family, they can still feel lonely, misunderstood or like they don’t fit in. And teens often feel emotions like loneliness even more strongly than adults.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, get tips on how to support your teen or young person if they are withdrawn or feeling isolated, visit – ParentClub.scot

Thank you to all the members of the PGRAC of Mid/East Lothian who were able to donate amazing medical trolleys, medical kits and fidget boards for each of the wards within the RHCYP Edinburgh. Lynn, Rachel and Meghan from the play team were delighted to meet Walter, Alex, Morton and Mark to take delivery of these fantastic donations.

We'll get a photo of the medical trolleys once they are built in some of the play rooms. These donations will help to take away some of the anxieties which arise when in hospital and help children to understand what is happening to them through play.

Thank you 💙
