Through encouraging your child to look after their own wellbeing, keeping themselves and others safe

  • We create opportunities for our child to make positive decisions about what they get involved in.
  • We encourage our child to participate in activities and their role in society independently, taking increasing responsibility for getting to their activities.
  • We support our child to independently mix with others outside of education, employment or training in a safe way.
  • We support our child to take part in activities that interest them independently.
  • We demonstrate respect towards ourselves and others and take care of the things we own/use; and encourage our child to do so too.
  • We support our child in understanding the consequences of their behaviours, both positive and negative.
  • We encourage our child to try new things and take part in new activities, maintaining interest in these.
  • We encourage our child to eat a balanced and healthy diet and take responsibility for their wellbeing.
  • We support our child in understanding the connection between mental and physical health.
  • We encourage our child to adopt a healthy sleeping pattern and sleeping habits and do the same ourselves.
