    Try and introduce small healthy habits into your family's life. Start with drinking one more glass of water a day, or getting one more hour of sleep. You'll be amazed at how small changes can have a big impact!

    Modelling resilience in your own life is a great way to teach your child about how to build resilience. Have open conversations with them about how you are feeling so that they can learn to identify their own emotions.

    Great work from the Thanet and Dover Speakout group last night! The young people took the lead in making our own lava lamps, running a quiz and leading a scavenger hunt! They also scored 2 Pay it Forward applications. All done virtually.
