Mental Health
At this time when everyone is feeling anxious and concerned about the future, we must not forget our young children who may become bewildered and confused, not knowing what the problem is, but sensing the stress and worry of their parents.
It is vital that we see the Mental Health of our children as a priority!
By using Baby Bird in "Be Happy to Be You," we can talk to young children about being happy. The book is a great starting point to discuss feelings and if our children are sent home due to school closures, parents and families can share the book and encourage positivity and high self-esteem.
