Wellbeing · 7–10 years
Naming emotions
Feelings give us clues about what is happening inside us. Naming one clearly can make it easier to understand and choose what to do next.
Listening to body signals
Our bodies often signal needs before we put them into words. Noticing hunger, thirst, tiredness or tension helps us make small choices that support wellbeing.
Using a pause to calm
A short pause can create space between a strong reaction and an action. Slow breathing, movement or a quiet place may help the body settle enough to think.
Asking for help and setting boundaries
Wellbeing includes knowing when to involve someone else and saying what feels safe or unsafe. Clear words can protect us and help other people understand what we need.
A sleep routine
A regular evening pattern helps your body and brain get ready for sleep.
Movement breaks
Short, suitable movement can refresh attention and help your body feel ready again.
Repairing a friendship
After a hurt or disagreement, honest words and changed actions can rebuild trust.
Balancing screens and attention
Noticing how screen time affects a plan helps you choose when to stop, switch or continue.
Clean habits protect health
Some small cleaning habits remove germs before they reach your mouth, eyes or other people. They are not about being perfect; they are simple ways to care for a shared body and shared spaces.
Food and water give the body usable energy
The body needs fuel and water to think, grow, move and recover. A wellbeing choice is noticing what you need and choosing a varied amount, without labelling foods as good or bad.
Bouncing back after a setback
A setback is a result or event that did not go as hoped. Wellbeing does not mean pretending it is fine; it means making room for the disappointment and finding a next step.
Noticing what is going well
Attention often sticks to problems, while ordinary good moments pass quickly. Deliberately noticing something that helped, pleased or connected you can make a day feel more balanced without pretending that difficult things are absent.
Including others
Small acts of welcome can help people feel that they belong.
Kind and honest self-talk
The words you use inside your head can guide your next attempt.
Safe and unsafe secrets
Knowing the difference helps a child protect themselves and tell a trusted adult.
Small plans for big worries
Breaking a worry into one safe, possible next step can make it easier to act.
Play helps wellbeing
Play gives children room to move, imagine, practise friendships and enjoy the present.
Rest helps us recover
Rest is not wasted time: it helps the body and mind restore energy after effort.
Coping with change
Change can feel unsettling, but noticing what stays steady and taking the next small step can help.
Things that matter to you
Knowing what matters to you can guide choices and give ordinary days a sense of direction.
