I certainly have been saying this to myself of this recently.. balancing being busy with work & life and all of the stress that goes along with it, on top of children being sick and the general madness of September time! I hope that you all have settled back into the school routine and this reminder is simply for anyone who needs it today💛

As promised… here are some of my go to games that I would use or encourage parents to use with children when emotions are getting high⭐️ can be used in multiple situations and not one toy or prop needed 👏

So proud to support this week as they highlight the impact that the COVID 19 pandemic has had on the mental health of all of us.. Research carried out across Europe found that 85.7% of parent reported changes to their children’s emotions and behaviours through this pandemic with most reporting difficulty concentrating, irritability, nervousness, loneliness and worries.. all of these are symptoms of anxiety and depression in children.. 💔Taking care of our mental health is so important, now more than ever.. I hope that you are all doing this week to support your mental health and the mental health of your children 🙂💛💫
