The times we are living in are uncertain and very challenging. It can be hard on our children.

Right now, our children need us – the adults - we need to be calm, organised and reassuring. They

are relying on us to communicate to them that they are safe and that their lives are predictable.

LET’s BE CALM:

take some time out

breathe

get away from the headlines

play games

laugh

focus on connections

LET’s use the holidays to BE ORGANISED:

store toys so they are easy to get out and put away

wait for natural breaks in your child’s play before getting them to tidy up

let your child know when it is nearly time to tidy up

tell your child what you want them to do at tidy up time

help your child get started if necessary

make tidying up fun



News praise your child for tidying up

if your child refuses to tidy up, gently guide them

use quiet time-out for problem behaviour

return your child to tidy up their mess

use a logical consequence

LET’s BE REASSURING:

this won’t be forever

we will get through this

we have the right attitude

we can dig deep

and we can help others

ENJOY YOUR FAMILIES

KEEP SAFE

SAFETY STARTS WITH US

Keep well everyone

Moi
