Editor's Notes
- Suggested music for children entering: ‘Connected’ by Stereo MCs
- Introduce the first of our new symbols - ‘Keep Connected’ . Relationships with other people are the most important thing for helping us to become more resilient. Resilience is built of strong positive relationships with our parents, other caring adults in our lives, our teachers and our friends and classmates. It important we try to strengthen our relationships and make new connections with more people.
- Relationships really do matter, and having people around us whom we trust and can share things with makes a huge difference to how well we cope when our river of life knocks us for six. We need to connect regularly with our back up team to make sure they are there for us.
- When Skipper has people in his boat whom he can trust and who can offer to lend him a helping hand, he feels stronger and more able to cope with obstacles and challenges. They are his back up team.
- Relationships matter – humans are social creatures. We naturally live in groups and, whatever age we are, we rely on people around us – to show us love and support and help us in our day-to-day lives to keep mentally and emotionally well.
- Sharing fun times and experiences is also important for building our relationships – support isn’t just there for when times are tough. Have you ever played the tangled game?
- What kind of groups do you belong to – musical, Guides/Brownies/Rainbows/Scouts/Cubs/Beavers, art classes, sport teams?
- Making friends and keeping them is an important life skill. From an early age we need to learn that it takes time, effort and, most importantly, knowledge and skills to do it well. The good news is most of what goes into being successful at getting along with others can be learned.
- Every interaction matters – we have the power to make the interactions we have with friends, peers, parents, siblings and school staff a positive or negative experience. Discuss the importance of GOOD relationships v BAD relationships.
