Ahead of going back to school in North Yorkshire, one of our education mental health practitioners, Emily, is sharing practical tips and advice for parents and carers.

Normalise feelings 🎊

“It's normal for children and young people to have lots of feelings. There'll be some that are really nervous, but also lots that are excited and others that aren't bothered at all. All these things are completely fine and normal.”

Back in routine 🌙

“Try and think about the bedtime routine and getting ready in the morning. Give them time to adjust – depending on what routine they’ve had over the summer.”

Manage worries ❤️

“Having a dedicated time will help children manage their worries by focusing on them during a set time each day, instead of letting them distract them all day.”

Positive focus 👍

“Look towards the exciting things so you’re not just focusing on the negatives and the worries. At the end of the first week, plan something nice afterwards that your child is really going to enjoy.”

None of us want to think about developing dementia. But smoking puts you at a much higher risk. 👀

The poisons in to***co smoke damage your blood vessels and kill off brain cells …increasing your chances of a heart attack …stroke … and dementia. 🧠

We can’t change our age. But we can cut our risk of dementia by not smoking.
