Wellbeing · 4–6 years
Naming feelings
Feelings give us clues about what is happening inside us.
Asking a trusted adult for help
Asking for help is a way to stay safe and solve problems together.
Washing hands
Washing hands helps remove dirt and many germs before they travel to our mouths or other people.
A bedtime routine
A repeated, calm bedtime routine helps the body recognise that it is time to rest.
Brushing your teeth
Brushing removes the sticky film that can hurt teeth and gums.
Drinking water
Water helps the body work when playing, thinking and staying cool.
Moving your body
Movement helps your body feel capable and supports balance, strength and mood.
Body boundaries
You can notice what feels comfortable and say what you do or do not want.
Resting when your body is tired
Children learn to notice tiredness and choose a quiet pause before their body becomes overwhelmed.
Eating a variety of foods
Children learn that different foods give the body different things, so variety matters more than making one food a hero.
Slow breathing to calm your body
Children learn one simple way to give their body a calmer signal when excitement, worry or anger feels big.
Kindness and taking turns
Children learn that fair turns and considerate actions help shared play feel safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Keeping safe in the sun
Sunlight helps us see and play, but too much can hurt our skin and eyes. We can use shade, clothing and sunscreen to stay comfortable.
Using the toilet cleanly
Using the toilet includes noticing when your body needs to go, cleaning yourself and washing your hands afterwards. These steps protect comfort, privacy and health.
Noticing hunger and fullness
Our body gives clues when it needs food and when it has had enough. Learning to notice those clues helps us eat with attention, while adults still help choose and serve food.
Medicine safety
Medicine can help when we are ill, but it is not a sweet or a toy. A trusted adult must choose and give it, following the label or a health professional’s instructions.
Covering coughs and sneezes
Learn how to keep coughs and sneezes from sending tiny wet drops towards other people.
Caring for your skin
Learn why gentle washing and drying help your skin stay comfortable and ready to protect you.
Checking before you play
Learn to pause and look for simple dangers before climbing, running or using play equipment.
Breaks from screens
Learn to give your eyes and body a pause when watching or playing on a screen.
