ANXIETY 101
Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. It alerts us to threats, protects us from danger and helps us reach important goals. But what can we do when our worries start to impact our ability to function in our everyday life?
HEALTHY SLEEP
Good quality sleep helps your child concentrate, remember things and behave well, which helps them be a successful learner. Children who don’t sleep well, or who don’t get enough sleep, are more likely to feel tired and have difficulties learning. If you notice that your child is have trouble concentrating, remembering things or learning, consider whether they’re getting enough sleep. This resource offers a presentation that you can read through and discuss with your family to help encourage healthy sleep habits in your home.
WORRY WOOS SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAM
Worry Woo is a Social Emotional Learning program that personifies emotions, giving younger children the ability to learn about feelings and practise talking about them in a manner that is relatable to them. By offering children the tools to recognize and verbalize their feelings, we are empowering them to gain control of their own emotions and develop strength in empathy, self respect and resolution.
