As schools plan to reopen, it is only natural for us to feel some anxiety. It is natural to have worries or concerns about how things will be, what will happen in a couples of weeks' times, and gauging how you will be able to cope with yet another change. And your children may be feeling the same way. Why not spend some time watching this video about anxiety and trying out the 5,4,3,2,1 technique to help manage some feelings of anxiety?

Understandably COVID-19 and school closures have interrupted the usual routine for children and parents and helping your children with this change can be very difficult. Especially when this is a new experience for us all. The World Health Organisation has created six helpful steps to help you support your children in a healthy and manageable way.
