Supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our children remains a key priority within our setting. In line with this commitment, we have been continuing to deliver a series of Mini Mind Explorers sessions designed to support children in exploring their feelings, understanding emotions, and developing age?appropriate strategies for emotional regulation.
Throughout this month, the children have participated in a variety of engaging and nurturing activities. These have included settling a teddy to sleep, which encouraged children to consider how they might use their own teddy for comfort if they experience difficulties sleeping at night. Children also practised calming techniques such as teddy?bear breathing, starfish breathing, and using a breathing ball. These activities support children in recognising their emotions and learning effective self?regulation strategies in a gentle and developmentally appropriate way.
