🔹 This week we see many primary schools reopening, with children beginning to return and to readapt to old routines. After so much time at home, it is not uncommon for children to become tearful, fearful and reluctant to take those first steps back into school life. They may also have experienced a bereavement during lockdown, whether due to Covid-19 or any other incident or illness.
🔹For some - even those who are school-loving and resilient - separation anxiety may develop and, whilst this usually passes with time, patience and ongoing reassurance, there are a few strategies we can try which may help with these transitions.
🔹 One of our favourites is also one of the most simple - a secret heart or kiss shape sewn into a child’s pocket, cuff or neckline which their parent kisses before they leave. The child can then touch or kiss the secret stitching during the day when they think of their parent or when they feel the need for some comfort. ... See MoreSee Less

🔹Following on from Wednesday’s blog about continuing bonds, and Make-it-Monday’s Salt Jar, we wanted to introduce to you SeeSaw’s “My Memory Puzzle” book. Bereaved children sometimes worry that they will forget the special person in their life who has died. This book has been written to help them to talk about and remember that person.



🔹Using activities that they can work through with their parent or trusted adult, these activities provide opportunities for children to explore their feelings, talk openly, ask questions and dispel any misunderstandings they may have. It also offers ideas for what might help on the days that feel a bit more challenging.



🔹The book can be filled out at the child’s pace and is divided into sections, which makes it easier for them to dip in and out as they choose. There are places for children to add photographs or drawings so they can then keep the book as a lasting memory of the person who has died.



🔹If you would like a copy of this lovely book, please email info@seesaw.org.uk for more information. Being an Oxfordshire based charity, we can offer these books free of charge to Oxfordshire residents. Books can still be ordered if you live out of county, but there will be a charge. ...
