It is natural to feel concerned during unsettling times. We advise that you continue to reduce any anxieties that your child may experience in these exceptional circumstances. In order to support their well-being, we offer some of the following suggestions: 

• Reassure them that they are safe 
• Let them talk about their worries 
• Limit their news exposure
• Provide a mindful time during the day

Throughout this page, you will find some useful resources to help ease and manage worries that your child may have. 

At Parkgate Primary School we have been using Thrive-Online to profile children in their class or work groups. The results help us to plan our social and emotional curriculum.

Emotional well being and support is crucial during these unprecedented times. During lockdown 1, the Thrive team put together a series of weekly activities to support children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. These are excellent activities to do as a family both in and outside the home. We have decided to keep these on our remote learning section as a useful resource to support with well-being and mental health.
