What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Worry and Anxiety
At times, growing up can be a stressful experience. It’s not unheard of for young people to fret about things that could potentially go wrong in their lives – and what implications this would have for their life. In some situations, this can go beyond feeling uneasy about the future and become full-blown anxiety, which affects their mental, emotional and even physical wellbeing. While worry and anxiety can originate from many different places, it's immensely important for parents and educators to understand the effect this can have on youngsters – and how best to support them if they’re going through a difficult time. This guide provides insight into the ramifications of worry and anxiety, and how you can help children manage – and hopefully overcome – these challenges.
Reception RE: Eid.
Reception had their last RE lesson on the topic of "Special Times" and had fun learning about Eid. They took things out of the Chatterbox that were related to Islam such as prayer beads, a prayer mat and prayer hats. They were able to talk about how each thing was used. Then the children who celebrate Eid explained how it was a time to eat and have a party after Ramadan (when they fast from eating, singing and dancing.)
