Children's Wellbeing at Nursery Attending Nursery can be one of the best ways to support and develop your
child's wellbeing. From a young age, children can suffer from low self-esteem
and low self-confidence. At Parkfield, we believe that we have the right
foundations in place to help to support both you and your child.
The Facts According to the Mental
Health Foundation , 1 in 10 children and young people are affected by mental
health problems. When having mental health issues from a young age, it can
sometimes be difficult to identify and therefore even harder to intervene and
help these children. Just some mental health issues currently experienced from
a young age include:
Anxiety ADHD/ Overactive Conduct Disorder Depression
Furthermore, an alarming 70% of children who do experience
mental health problems have not received the intervention at an early age. This
will only cause more problems in the future, making an early solution integral.
Developing both physical and mental health from a young age will help all
children later on in life.
What Activities Improve Children's Wellbeing? There are many ways to improve your child's wellbeing such
as various physical activities, accessing the right support and establishing
good habits such as :
Family Time Good Physical Health & Diet Indoor & Outdoor Play Regular Exercise
Having a good support system available is vital. For your
child, you must make sure the nursery you choose will provide the right support
for your child and always look after their wellbeing. Having the feeling of
being loved and valued should always have a positive impact, as well as having
people to teach your child to enjoy themselves and get involved in
opportunities from a young age.
How Nurseries Support Children's Wellbeing The
right nursery for your child will always offer the support needed to improve
mental health and wellbeing. This should come in the form of both the
activities available and the staff who are looking after your children.
Throughout the UK, more and more nurseries are attending specialist training to
become more aware of how to deal with mental health issues.
In addition to the staff who are looking after your
children, it is important each nursery offers various educational and
interactive activities. A mix of indoor and outdoor activities
should always be available, making sure children can find something they enjoy
and want to get more involved in.
Having these features at a nursery should always
assist with children's mental health and wellbeing.
Nursery Support Is Essential Receiving support from your nursery as a child is so
important to prevent mental health and wellbeing becoming even worse. In June
2016, 11,849 children aged five and under were in contact with mental health
services. In total, among children and young people, there were 235,189
people in contact with mental health services.
This further demonstrates how important a good support
system at nursery is to help children with their mental health and wellbeing.
Even if you do not notice any signs of mental health issues, finding a good
nursery will assist with any problems and help all children get involved in
activities that they love.
