5 Tips to Help Children Feel Safe

1. Encourage physical activity:

Regular physical activity is important for a child’s physical and mental health. Encourage your child to engage in outdoor play, sports, or dance classes to help them stay active and release any pent-up energy.

2. Foster social connections:

Children thrive on social connections, so it’s essential to encourage them to build positive relationships with peers, siblings, and family members. Encourage your child to participate in group activities, playdates, or community events to build social connections.

3. Prioritise sleep:

Adequate sleep is essential for a child’s physical and emotional well-being. Encourage a regular bedtime routine and make sure your child gets enough restful sleep.

4. Limit screen time:

Excessive screen time can impact a child’s emotional and mental health. Encourage your child to engage in other activities such as reading, drawing, or playing outside.

5. Practice mindfulness:

Mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can help children manage stress and anxiety. Encourage your child to practice mindfulness techniques to help them feel calm.
