All being well, shortly after this magazine comes out, all remaining restrictions will have been lifted! We can live in hope anyway. Regardless, groups and classes for children aged 0-5 years have been able to run face-to-face since April and, whilst it's sadly true that a lot of community parent and tots groups are still closed, most are planning to return in September. Fortunately there are still LOADS of classes to attend so if you're one of the many parents with a lockdown baby, you can definitely get out, introducing baby to the big wild world!

Activities to Boost

Your Child’s

Wellbeing

It has been well-reported that the COVID pandemic and successive lockdowns have had a negative impact on the mental health of both adults and children. Esther Marshall, a mental health activist, shares some activities that can help all of us to help our little ones (and ourselves at the same time!)

3 DRINK DRINK DRINK

There are studies to show that not drinking enough water each day contributes to anxiety. Try and get your children to drink enough water by making it fun. Each hour, get them to drink water out of something different like different coloured cups, a bowl, an egg cup etc. Make drinking water fun rather than a chore.

4 FROM BOWL TO SOUL

1 THE POWER OF IMAGINATION

A great tip to help boost your child’s wellness is to take them outside in any outdoor space and ask them to pick out 5 objects they can find e.g. a leaf. Once they have the objects, ask them to make up a story that features the objects they have found. Not only is being outside and exploring good for them but when they are making up the story, they will be fully immersed in their imagination and anything that was worrying them will feel calmer during that time. It’s a great way to relax both their body and mind all at once.

Cooking is a good way to relax. You could look through recipes online or in cookbooks if you have them and see if there is anything that your child would like to make. Or you can get them to make up their own recipe! It’s a fun activity to do together and will let them be creative and, who knows? They might really get into cooking, which will help with their overall wellbeing by helping them to understand what ingredients go into the food they are eating. They can then make enough for family or friends to come over and eat as well.

DANCE PARTY

Dancing is always good, regardless of whether you’re an adult or a child, regardless of whether you are good at it or not. So why not put on some of your favourite music and dance your heart out? It will help release endorphins and make you feel better – yes, both adults and children!

2 PAY IT FORWARD

Being kind and making others feel good helps us to feel good. Ask your child to write what they like about a friend and then get them to post it to a friend. If possible, get the parent/s of the other child to do the same. This way they are being kind but also building self-confidence. Esther Marshall is a Diversity and Inclusion expert, mental health activist and the author of the The Sophie Says children’s books series – which make life’s most important lessons fun to learn. www.sophiesaysofficial.com

MINI-BEAST

HUNT Kit Lis t:

• Paper, pencil and clipboard • Spotting sheet (use sheet below or download more at www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/spotting-sheets) • Wipes or hand sanitiser • Optional: Camera; Magnifying Glass

Ins tr uc tio ns : Mini-beasts are more active in spring and summer, but it is possible to find them all year round if you know where to look – and you look carefully. Good places to look for mini-beasts in woodland include: • In or near any kind of flowers or plants • On leaves, in long grass or in a hedge or bush • In or near any kind of shelter, including cracks in tree bark, piles of deadwood or leaves

NO TE S & TIP S:

• Make sure everyone knows not to touch the mini-beasts. • Adopt quiet and slow “David Attenborough” tones and encourage the troopers to do the same. This will have no effect on the bugs whatsoever, but will avoid startling other kinds of wildlife. • Move slowly and carefully, making no sudden movements. • If you’re anxious, don’t show it. Your children take their cues from you, and if you show you’re nervous around mini-beasts, they will learn to be too. • If you find a mini-beast that could bite or sting, explain to your troopers that it is the creature’s natural defence mechanism. • Challenge misconceptions about mini-beasts: Bees aren’t just stinging machines, they’re arch pollinators and without them many plants and crops (including the ones we eat) would die. Flies can be a pain, but they are busy workers in the garden, pollinating, helping to dispose of decaying waste and serving as a protein-rich meal for birds, frogs, spiders and other insects. Worms aren’t slimy mini-snakes, they’re “nature’s ploughs” turning waste into nutrient-rich soil. Dung beetles mean that the world isn’t covered in poo! • Once your mini-beast hunt is complete, don’t forget to thoroughly wash your hands.

Have fun

• Under large stones and logs • In or near any source of water (be careful!)

– and be prepared for squeals of disgust and delight!

Creating

BY DR. KIKI MORRISS

A Family Practice Starting Young

You’re never too young to start yoga and by introducing it to your children at an early age you are giving them a gift for life, as it will help them build a strong and flexible body, improve co-ordination and balance, achieve a peaceful and relaxed state of mind, sleep well, build their self-confidence and improve their focus, memory and concentration. There are many wonderful and simple ways to make yoga a real part of your everyday family life, bringing happiness and harmony to your home. By practising with your children you will strengthen the bond and trust between you all, as you foster health and wellbeing for your whole family.

Nurture Yourself First

To nurture your children well, you must start by nurturing yourself well. That’s why the first practice in my book Nurturing Your Family With Yoga is for you, the caregiver. It’s a gentle, guided meditation, similar to the Becalmed Yoga Nidra album on Spotify, iTunes or Amazon Music. If you have time I would recommend you listen to one of these tracks, which last between 6 and 22 minutes, before sharing yoga with your children. It will help you to feel calm, grounded and patient, so you are at your best for your children.

Tips for a Successful Family Yoga Practice

BUTTERFLY

★ Keep your family yoga practice simple and light-hearted. ★ Let your children practise when they are ready to. Don’t put pressure on them to practise at a certain time or in a specific way. ★ Encourage your children to use their imaginations, as they croak like frogs, flap their butterfly wings or stand tall like trees. Make it fun!

Photography: Vanessa Berberian

★ Children love to make up their own versions of yoga poses. Encourage them to be creative with their bodies. ★ Children are natural mimics. If you develop your own yoga practice, they will enjoy copying you. ★ Turn off your phone and computer during your family yoga practice.

Toddle About MK & Bucks 17

Tree: This is a great one to start

with, as children love balancing poses. If you’re practising with very young children you can support them by holding their hands or they can make the shape of Tree pose whilst lying on their back. This is called Sleeping Tree. Tree pose will strengthen their legs and arms, improve their balance, relieve anxiety and develop focus, concentration and confidence.

FROG

1. Stand tall with your TREE feet together 2. Lift your right foot to the inside of your left leg 3. Bring your hands in prayer pose in front of your chest and then above your head 4. Balance for as long as you can and then repeat on the other side Ask your children to imagine what type of tree they are and what season it is. They could be an ancient oak tree, a fir tree on a snowy mountain, a kapok tree in a tropical rainforest or a palm tree swaying in the warm breeze on the beach.

Butterfly: Butterfly is a lovely pose for children of all ages. It will maintain the natural flexibility of their hips and strengthen their back. 1. Sit with the soles of your feet together and hold your ankles or feet. 2. Close your eyes and take a few steady breaths in and out. 3.Imagine the colour and patterns of your wings. After your practice you could try drawing or painting them.

THE Lifecycle of a Butterfly Sequence:

This is a wonderful way to be imaginative and playful with your children. Developing a child’s imagination has been shown to help them reduce anxiety and build resilience. 1. Lie on your front and imagine you are a caterpillar. You are very hungry and crawl around, munching on all the delicious leaves. Imagine you are growing bigger and bigger. 2. Now stand up and lift your arms on either side of your head with your hands together in prayer position. Slowly turn round and round and imagine you are changing into a chrysalis. Close your eyes and stand very still, imagining that you are hanging from the underside of a leaf. 18 July - Sept 2021 Toddle About

The

3. When you are ready, slowly emerge from the chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly by sitting in Butterfly pose. Flap your wings by gently lifting your knees up and down.

Frog: Imagine you are a frog with long, powerful legs and see how far you can jump in this pose. As a frog you can choose to jump on land, swim in the water or make lots of noise ‘ribbit, ribbit!’ Frog pose will strengthen your legs and back, stretch your hips and thighs as well as improving your balance. 1. Squat with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart 2. Lower your heels down to the floor but don’t worry if you can’t bring them flat on the ground 3. Place your hands on the floor in front of your feet Tell your children that many grown ups have lost the ability to squat comfortably because they spend so much time sitting in chairs. The muscles at the back of their legs, called hamstrings, become tight and their back muscles weaken, which can lead to backache. If your children squat every day in Frog pose, then they will keep their legs and back as healthy as possible.

Yoga and Your Family

Introducing your children to yoga at an early age will lay the foundations for their teen and adult years, as it supports good mental, physical and emotional health throughout life. A family yoga practice, however simple, will give you and your children precious moments together. I hope it is full of joy and happiness.
