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 well and truly Winter, I’m seeing lots of children without jumpers or layers of clothing to ensure they are very warm throughout the day. Please encourage staying warm as much as possible. Not only is this important for their health but very important for their overall wellbeing. A very simple and essential step in taking care of ones-self that can make a very big difference.
Thank you!
