Skill: Gaining self awareness is extremely important in a child. These activities explore their emotional boundaries, help your child to feel safe and secure, and help them to recognise their own personal characteristics and preferences. This activity Keeping safe, helps your child to understand the importance of feeling safe and secure.
Sit your child on your lap and ask them,
ReplyDelete‘Who do I have here?’
When they respond say.
‘Gosh, it’s my very own (name)’
Give them a big hug.
Repeat this two or three times and then as
a treat lift them up or rock them on your lap.
This activity can be expanded by carrying out
the same routine, but this time getting them
to sit a short way from you each time.
