We've published new guidance to support education professionals to meet the psychological needs of children as they plan for their return to school during the Coronavirus crisis.

Hello lovely people,

Wishing you all a grounding and restful weekend ahead.

We’re sharing ideas and resources for supporting children and young people, parents/carers, schools, teachers and community supporters. Have a look through the topic areas and there might be some things that could be helpful for you in supporting well-being. Please ask for an area you are interested in or concerned about.

Also feel free to share any of the resources, websites or posts to anyone you feel would benefit. We really want to support those who are most in need and seeking advice but not receiving it or who don’t have the same access to literature and resources as we do as psychologists working in the NHS, charities and two local authorities. There are psychologists and psychotherapeutic, somatic and holistic therapists alsoin the group.

We want to provide learn child-centred, hope-filled resources and ideas for strengthening connections, building self-esteem, connecting with nature and strengthening emotional well-being. We advocate for children’s rights to happiness and healthiness through a holistic approach to supporting their minds, hearts, bodies, higher sense of self and their connection to the world.

All children deserve to live without fear and they need to experience love so as adults in their lives, we need to nurture ourselves in order to be able to fully give and receive the love that we all deserve/deserved as children.

If all children grew up feeling secure in themselves and loved by others so that they can care for others and treat all humans equally... well then the world would be a happier more just place. Children and all of us deserve to feel safe, loved, nurtured, and given opportunities to build empathy for others, to find their gifts and passions, to build resilience and coping strategies to overcome their struggles with psychological balance. We want children to feel connected to ourselves, others and nature.

We need to work hard to care for and heal all of the parts of ourselves, our relationships and our communities that have experienced trauma, social injustice and/or attachment insecurity through the way we were parented. Other people need our support to help them to be able to meet their needs for them to be happy and healthy. Some people need us to help them find their voice, their confidence or their skills.

So we would like access to help more people to have resources and learning about areas of child psychology and child development.

We’re aware that everything is only in English and not very accessible to some people.

A lot of information is being put up and we don’t want to overwhelm so you may want to switch off your notifications and check in each time you want to look for a topic area.

If anyone is thinking about supporting others’ mental health and well-being within their communities and would like to think ideas through with a psychologist, please be in touch.

With love x

ADVICE
The British Psychological Society

Talking to children about Coronavirus

1. It is good to talk: Children will have heard about Coronavirus and likely noticed changes around them (such as people wearing face masks). It is important they
feel comfortable talking to you about Coronavirus as you will be the best source of information and reassurance for them. It’s also likely they will talk to their friends or other children, which can involve imagination and misinformation.
So having the chance to check-in with you is even more helpful.

2. Be truthful but remember your child’s age: It is better for children to take an honest and accurate approach – give them factual information, but adjust the amount and detail to fit their age. For example, you might say ‘we don’t yet have a vaccination for Coronavirus, but doctors are working very hard on it’
or ‘a lot of people might get sick, but normally it is like a cold or flu and they get better’. Younger children might understand a cartoon or picture better. We also recommend that adults watch news programmes and then filter this information to their child in a developmentally appropriate way.

3. Allow children to ask questions: It is natural that children will have questions, and likely worries, about Coronavirus. Giving them the space to ask these questions and have answers is a good way to alleviate anxiety. Again, try to be honest in your responses – it is ok to say you don’t know. At the moment, there are questions we don’t have answers to about Coronavirus – you can explain this to your child and add in information about what people are doing to try to answer these questions. Maybe your child has an idea too – let them tell you or draw them.

4. Try to manage your own worries: Uncertainty can make all of us feel anxious or worried. Identify other adults you can talk to about your own worries and questions. What things usually help to make you feel a bit calmer? If you are at home, music, breathing and relaxation techniques, distraction (such as watching something funny), and time with family members or pets can all help. Talk to your children when you feel calm – it will reassure them.

5. Give practical guidance: Remind your child of the most important things they can do to stay healthy – washing their hands and the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ advice for coughs and sneezes. Help your child practise and increase their motivation for keeping going (maybe thinking of a song they want to sing while washing their hands).
