Enhancing Practice with Hygge
Online session
Tue 23 Jul

About this event

The mental health issues in young children are sadly rising. Therefore, it is so important that we support the youngest of children in our role as childminders to:

• develop resilience
• improve their knowledge of slowing down and experiencing joy in the little things
• learn other skills that protect their emotional health and wellbeing

Where we work with older children, being able to spot the signs of poor emotional wellbeing and what might be triggering it, creating a safe space and providing support for both the child and their family and then working with them in an attempt to negate the triggers is so important.

We will teach you how to reflect on your current practice and move it forward. It is suitable for anyone interested in developing their work with children, keeping children in the centre of all that happens in the setting, for anyone who needs to rebalance their work and home life as well as streamlining the working day, making it more effective for the children whilst putting wellbeing and engagement at the forefront.
