Children’s Mental Health Week

Lilac paused to consider who we Connect with. We discussed all the people in our lives who have an impact on us and help us be the people we are. We thought about how we actually ‘connect’ with others – rather than just being near them, what we do to actively keep and improve our relationships with them. We thought about why relationships with others are so important and how being with others, doing a fun activity, usually boosts our mood and cheers us up. A lot of the connections the children made were in their families and it was lovely to hear how much they enjoy spending time with their families doing things like walking their dog, having meals together and driving to and from clubs.
