This week, year 5/6 have been discussing how they could improve their mental health through self-care techniques.
We watched this short video to gain a better understanding of self-care techniques and get some ideas about what we can do.
At home, set aside some time to discuss which self-care techniques work for you. Remember, not all self-care techniques work for everyone. Give them a go and if you enjoy it, try to make it a regular thing.
Some children decided that they would try deep breathing. Others suggested that spending more time with their parents might help. Finding time for yourself or being around positive people can have a dramatic influence on lowering your stress levels and boosting your engery.
