Wellbeing tips for a parent supporting a child
There are lots of things you can do to help your child feel better about themselves and improve their overall mood. Sometimes even small changes in daily routines can make a difference. Try implementing these wellbeing goals as a first step in supporting your child’s emotional and mental health.
Foster Open Communication
Create a safe space for your child to share their feelings. Listen actively and validate their emotions to help them feel understood and supported.
Exemplify Calm and Resilience

Encourage Physical Activity
Physical activity is a natural stress reliever. Encourage your child to take regular exercise, whether it’s a sport they enjoy, a walk in the park, or even dancing to their favourite music. Both movement and time spent outdoors in nature can help boost mood and reduce anxiety.
