Children’s Mental Health Week: Understanding Emotions

 It’s Children’s Mental Health Week and this year’s theme is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.’ Place2Be want to encourage self-awareness to build resilience, grow and develop. 



Understanding and managing emotions is important for development and wellbeing in children and teenagers. 


Recognising and naming emotions helps children understand them, which in turn helps them to manage them.

Sometimes, children and teenagers need help with this.


Remember………. we all have lots of emotions, emotions come and go and there are no bad emotions. Emotions are like a roller coaster ride, they go up and down and around and around and change all the time sometimes very unexpectedly, but you can manage your big emotions. 




Over the next few days, we will share some hints and tips on how to help your child recognise their emotions and how to manage them. 



If you are concerned about your child’s mental health, you should call your local medical centre/GP.
