Wellbeing Weekends

 Every Friday we will share a wellbeing activity idea for you to try at home.
This week its all about getting active in the outdoors. Exercising in the outdoors is a brilliant and essential way to boost your child's emotional wellbeing. Getting active and spending time in nature will help release feel good hormones which will improve mood and help combat anxiety and stress. Sleep will improve which will have a positive effect on how your child feels and behaves. It will also give your child a good sense of achievement and boost confidence and self esteem. 

Walking, bike riding, playing in the park or garden are all great ways to get active in the local area.
See the links below for more ideas.
