Infant Mental Health Week 7th - 13th June
Fostering good mental wellbeing early is so important for children's development. This week is Infant Mental Health Week. Interim Mental Health Champion for Northern Ireland, Professor Siobhan O'Neill, has recorded a short video aimed at parents of young children (approximately age 0-4, although not age specific)
She gives her tips to parents about what they can do to support their children's mental health and wellbeing, and talks about how to encourage young children to express their feelings and the importance of self-care for parents. Professor O'Neill also draws on her experience as a parent of a 4 year old.
A link to this video has been posted on the Education Authority's Getting Ready to Learn website in the parent tab section:
