Promoting Mental Wellness in Young Children

According to a recent survey, 75% of parents are worried about their child’s mental health. 



There are simple ways we can promote mental wellness in young children. 


 1️. Open ended, child-directed play when children feel that they are in control 


 2️. Sensory toys that offer a soothing, tactile experience to promote calmness and relaxation


 3️. Quality outdoor time that allows for exploration to support present-moment awareness


 4️. Self-regulation techniques that encourage a diffused attention style through the five senses (versus traditional mindfulness practices)


 5. Opportunities to give back to the community – preschool age is the perfect time to foster empathy and kindness. 


 6. Social-emotional learning by using visual cues to help guide children when they are feeling upset.
