Keeping Children Warm

Keeping Children Warm

Keeping warm is about much more than not being cold or catching a cold. One of the first things we learn as a baby is the nurturing quality of warmth when we are held and wrapped in a blanket. Warmth is very nurturing and supportive and helps us to settle in our bodies and feel safe. Cold is the opposite – we contract, feel on edge and feel uneasy.

It’s that time of year again as we approach the colder part of the year. Please encourage staying warm as much as possible and ensure your children have layers on and jumpers with them at school. Not only is this important for their health but very important for their overall well-being. Being warm is a very simple and essential step in taking care of ones-self that can make a very big difference.

Thank you!
