Thriving Bites #10
Hellooo!
How are you?
It’s a strange time isn’t it? Living our lives during a pandemic. Every person will be experiencing it differently. How are you processing the changes you’ve had to make in your life to stay healthy in body, mind and socially?
If you’ve got children, you may be seeing and hearing their responses to what’s happening around them too. How is that for you? If they’re frightened or anxious, what’s an appropriate response? We’re not given a step-by-step guide as parents/carers but there are evidence-based ways we can support them and build their coping skills.
The latest blog will give you some tips.

COVID and anxious kids. What to do?
LATEST BLOG POST
COVID has forced us to change how we live. For some it’s been easy, for others the opposite is true.
Many children haven’t been able to go to school, see friends or relatives, do sports, and in some cases they may not have seen their parents for long periods if caught overseas.
As parents, we want to keep our precious children safe and happy. During such unknown times, how can we do this and at the same time not over protect.
Go for an awe walk
A thriving activity
Take a camera, a notepad, or simply your eyes, ears and mind. Whether your awe walk is in your own backyard, to the end of your street, round the block, or far away.
You’re looking for joy. You’re looking for small moments. You’re looking for what you often miss.
A beautiful flower, the bark on a tree, children playing, people laughing, the sound of waves or birds, the smell of grass or coffee, rocks, clouds moving across the sky ….
Then feel happy with yourself that you can take a moment to appreciate small and precious positives.
