#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

[Above and Beyond Awards @AboveBeyondAwds]

An important reminder during #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek - children with #hlp often have a greater depth of awareness than their peers and need you to help them understand their emotions.

[IASS Network @IASS_Network]

Speaking to your #child about how they’re feeling can be difficult. @YoungMindsUK have created this tool to encourage conversation with young children about their mental health. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

Gifted children may start to tackle existential questions much earlier than their peers… and they may not yet know how to emotionally handle these thoughts. Remind your kids that it’s okay to talk about what scares or saddens them!

[Above and Beyond Awards @AboveBeyondAwds]

It’s great to hear that school clubs offer opportunities for all to work at their level - regardless of age. Hopefully this child’s bravado will now open opportunities for other able children who lack her confidence - well done to all.

[Helen Elsley @HelenElsley]

Today a tiny girl talked her way into the upper school writing club, produced a handwritten copy of @joshuaseigal ‘s Just a Book, gave a bravura reading of it before eating all the crisps & dashing off a story that made the seniors sit up. #SheCanStay

[Above and Beyond Awards @AboveBeyondAwds]
