Wouldn't it be great if our children could simply read a book to learn everything they needed to know and understand regarding all the unconscious aspects needed to know their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours? Even how all these factors as a child will come to influence their adult-self? It would be great, yes. However, it would never be possible, sadly.
My name is Kylea Sustek (MBACP Dip. Cons) and I have been a fully qualified and experienced integrative counsellor for the past 8 years. Today, I run a very successful private practise working with individuals of various ages and within a wider range of life, emotional, and mental health issues.
I've created these worksheets in a hope to enhance and strengthen children’s mental health, emotional wellbeing, intelligence, communication, self-regulation, and much more. This current time in life regarding the whole Coronavirus situation would have highly likely impacted upon your child's emotional wellbeing, even if you cannot see it for yourself. To what degree, sadly, you may never know.
There are strong links between children's wellbeing and school excellence.
Emotional wellness consists of our ability to self-care, relax, process our thoughts and emotions effectively, and the development of inner strength. We all to be attentive to both our positive and negative thoughts and feelings, for us to respond within a healthy manner accordingly and, therefore, promotes positivity all round for both adults, children, and all individuals within your lives.
By enabling a good balance of wellness from a young age, encourages and promotes an ability to hold a healthy sense of self-esteem, of which, first begins to rise between the ages of 4 and 11. This age range varies rather widely due to being dependant upon the child's environment and surroundings settings - social and cognitive, where being able to gain a sense of independence.
Feelings of wellbeing are fundamental to the overall health of us all, enabling our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to successfully overcome our difficulties and to achieve all the things we would want out of our life. As you may be aware, our past experiences, relationships, attitudes etc, all can have an enormous impact upon our wellbeing, both physically and mentally. As our wellbeing has a great deal concerning our quality of life, wouldn't it be wonderful to help your child to understand these basic concepts needed now, rather than later?
By purely supporting and encouraging your children to grow and learn their own way (having parental boundaries of course), establishing positive relationships and an environment where they feel safe and secure with the freedom to express themselves in a way that, well... the vast majority of us parents most likely didn't. For our parents simply did not have the information available to them then that we have today, not to mention the various options of help and resources.
