1 in 6 children aged 5-16 is likely to have a mental health problem. That’s pretty scary right?! There are lots of children dealing with anxiety and stress. Or just trying to work out the rollercoaster of life! As parents, we haven’t been shown how to deal with this. Often it’s hard enough looking after our own mental health! Yet, you know that looking after your child’s mental health is as important as looking after their physical health. We’ve designed our Nurturing Wellbeing programme just for parents like you! Parents who want to invest in their children’s mental health and need the support to do that. It’s never too early to invest in your child’s mental health. 50% of mental health issues are established by age 14. Investing in your child’s wellbeing now will give them tools to look after themselves in the future.

The activities in our wellbeing programme only take between five and ten minutes to do with your child. They are fun, easy and engaging! So you’ll both be looking forward to them. Each exercise has guidance on how to do it, as well as tips on what to do if it’s not working. We help you make mindfulness a habit. Small changes to your day will make a big difference.

We’ve a range of exercises in our toolbox, ranging from a few minutes to ten. We recommend doing at least one exercise a day - even the shorter breathing ones - to start to create a habit.

You can try a technique called habit stacking. So you pick a thing you do every day, teeth brushing, bathtime, bedtime, home from school, dinner time. Then you add your habit onto that, so perhaps you do your breathing exercises when you come home from school as a way to connect, or before bedtime to settle. Whatever works for your family. We have some helpful guidance on this in our Family Intentions Setting Guide inside the Toolbox.

In addition, we've also created a 28-day calendar to ease you into it. You can find it in your Wellbeing Toolbox. Once you've familiarised yourself with Wee Seeds tools, our calendar can be something you can use to bring some stability to practicing every day if it helps.
