Negative thoughts: useful tips from Parent Club

Our kids have been through a lot this year – so if yours are finding it hard to get used to being back at school, that’s quite understandable 😔 

Here are some tips for helping your children deal with negative thoughts – they work for grown ups too!

🎨 Draw the worry – then scrunch up the paper and bin it

🏝️ Ask them to describe their favourite place – what can they see, hear and smell there?

✋ Get them to take deep breaths while tracing round their hand with one finger

🎵 Play their favourite music and dance or chill out together
