The Red Cross have a produced an activity pack to help promote mental health and wellbeing. This summer they are asking children to complete a ‘Summer of Kindness Calendar’ where they can write down something kind they have done for each day of the month. There is also a certificate to print off when your child has completed the calendar. The Red Cross have also added activities for each week that encourage the children to think about kindness, to help build resilience as well as being aware of their own wellbeing.

All of the activities, calendars and certificates are below:

Is your child struggling to manage their emotions? Sometimes a child may be finding it difficult and frustrating to explain how they feel and often this can make some emotions heightened. By having an emotion chart displayed, they can either point to the emotion they are feeling or use the chart to find the correct word to describe the emotion. This can then allow a discussion to take place to talk about why they may feel this way and what they could do to manage it.

Here is an example of an emotion chart:  Emotions Chart
