A guide to step back into school
This contains tips and tricks to transition your kids back into physical school life
Self Compassion and Empathy
Use this mindfulness meditation and exercise to help your child become kinder and more compassionate with themselves and others. Children can be gently encouraged to be compassionate and have an open mind on a daily basis. As they do this, they are more likely to believe in themselves and persist in the face of difficulty. Cultivating a growth mindset begins with mindfulness as we pay attention to the present moment with curiosity, tuning in to all it has to offer us.
This meditation helps you to become kinder and more compassionate with yourself and others.
To get started, find a comfy spot to sit and start the meditation.
Think of recent times when you have done your very best and felt proud of your efforts even when the ‘going got tough’. Make an origami heart envelope using a square piece of paper. Reflect on how it feels to try hard and keep going even when things are tough. On little squares, write some encouraging self-talk you say to yourself and pop them inside your heart.
This activity can be done on a blank piece of paper, or on the downloadable template.
