Children

It is important that we look after the mental health and wellbeing of our children as much as we look after their physical health.  A mentally healthy child has the ability to:

  • Develop psychologically, emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually.
  • Initiate, develop and sustain mutually satisfying relationships.
  • Use and enjoy solitude.
  • Become aware of others and empathise with them.
  • Play and learn.
  • Develop a sense of right and wrong.
  • Resolve problems and setbacks satisfactorily and learn from them.

 

How we look after the wellbeing of our children:

  • Regular check ins using visuals, for example at the start of the day, after breaks and lunchtimes and at the end of the day to review how children are feeling.
  • Visuals to help pupils understand and express their feelings (zones of regulation) and how to regulate themselves (for example ‘calm choice’).
  • Individual Regulation Support Plans for those children who need additional support to understand, express and manage their emotions.
  • Promotion of activities to help pupils to regulate themselves, for example calm choice boards.
  • Supported social times.
  • Fidget toys and other sensory support.
  • Lunchtime activities to create positive peer interaction.
  • Playing games and using games not only to relax and have fun but also develop essential social skills and support regulation.
  • Individualised social stories when appropriate, to support pupils coping with difficult events.
  • Regular exercise and physical activity at playtimes and during PE.
  • Established positive and open relationships with parents/carers, liaising with parents to support each child.
  • Use of reward systems and clear expectations of conduct.
