The summer holidays can bring a much-needed break, but it can also be a time of stress of anxiety for some. Take a look at these tips from our Clinical Services Manager Anita Gatt for supporting your child’s mental health during the holidays. We'd love to hear your top tips too - please share them in the comments.

Tip 1- The sudden lack of routine for children over summer can be difficult for some, so try to keep to some sort of routine, e.g. one meal a day together at the same time 🕰️
Tip 2- Life can be busy, try to find time for some down time with your child - maybe watch a film together or play outside 📺
Tip 3- Children’s behaviour is a form of communication, so notice how they are behaving as well as what they’re saying - it's a good way to spot if something might be worrying them 💭
Tip 4- 6 weeks away from friends can feel like a long time, so try to help your child stay connected e.g. by meeting in the park - this can also help with returning to school in September 🌳
Tip 5- Remember everyone’s summer break will be different and that’s okay, try to enjoy it your way! ☀️

With the summer holidays starting soon, it's a time of excitement for many children. But for some, particularly those starting secondary school in September, it can be a time of worry and fear about upcoming change.

Our Moving on Up groups this term have supported children across Cambridgeshire to feel more confident, prepared and calm ahead of moving school - so they can enjoy summer and thrive at their new schools in September 💙
