8 Tips for Building Positive Relationships With Children in Your Care
Positive relationships are critical for children. They nurture confidence, resilience, and determination, all of which are essential for children to thrive.
The good news is positive relationships can develop anywhere! From parents and caregivers to teachers and even extended family and friends.
Everyone has a role to ensure children are safe, loved and given the opportunity to thrive.
MINDFULNESS RAIN MASSAGE
This simple mindful massage will make you think about the rainy weather, its sounds, and what happens to the floor as the rain pours? Take a moment to breathe deeply and ground yourself in the present moment. As you both imagine the story of the rain, let your hands feel the sensations of the massage. The rhythmic touch mimicking the rain fosters a sense of calm and relaxation, promoting emotional well-being.
Observing your little one’s cues and responses, adjust pressure and touch to their age and preferences.
NATURE DRUMMING
Spending time outdoors can be incredibly beneficial for both you and your little ones. Being outside can naturally boost your energy and mood, which is excellent for your mental health.
So why not use the outdoors and make music with your little one? Engage with nature and the natural objects around you, promoting sensory stimulation and encouraging curiosity about the world. This, in turn, can enrich their exploratory impulses..
How to Support a Shy or Anxious Child
Shyness is common among young children, marked by feelings of discomfort, self-consciousness, nervousness, and bashfulness when facing social situations and new experiences.
Understanding and supporting your little one’s shyness can help them develop confidence and social skills, helping them to navigate the world with greater ease and resilience.
MIRROR PORTRAIT
Mirrors can help your little one become more self-aware by exploring their reflection and observing gestures, movements, body and facial features. As they interact with their reflection, your little one learns about their body and identifies their unique features, helping them to develop their self-image and identity.
The Difference Between Meltdowns and Tantrums & How to Help
Navigating the world of childhood emotions can be like finding your way through a maze. Tantrums and meltdowns can feel daunting, but they are a normal part of your child’s development and pretty much every parent has experienced them at some point.
Sometimes, it’s hard to distinguish between a tantrum and a meltdown, but understanding the differences can help you know your child better, respond effectively, and be supportive.
