This Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re excited to share a series of bitesize videos designed to support children and young people to understand and manage their emotions.
In keeping with this year’s theme, Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, the videos empower children and young people to explore their feelings, build self-awareness and develop strategies to help them navigate different emotions.
What’s included?
We’ve created 8 short videos - 4 tailored to primary school-aged children and 4 for secondary school-aged young people. Each video focuses on one of the four core emotions: joy, sadness, fear or anger. The videos explore what the different emotions can feel like and offer age-appropriate strategies to use when young people experience that feeling.
Why exploring emotions matters
Understanding your emotions is a vital part of mental health and wellbeing. When children and young people can identify and manage their feelings, they’re better equipped to navigate challenges, build resilience and maintain positive relationships.
By using these videos, you can:
- Help children and young people to recognise and name their emotions.
- Equip them with practical strategies to manage big emotions and feel more in control.
- Encourage open conversations about feelings, which can help to build trusting relationships and emotional wellbeing.
