Octagon Cluster Teacher Training
As part of my work experience at Swavesey Primary School they kindly let me attend their teacher training day on child mental health.
It was really interesting and really made me think about:
- The types of attachment impact childrens' personalities and ways of interacting differently and how to respond/ help engage the children effectively.
- Appropriate and thoughtful responses to help different types of children and make them feel cared for.
-The bio, pscho, social model explanation for anxiety and behaviour to really consider the complexities of what could affect children whilst growing up.
-Really considering how the behaviour that they are showing is an expression of their feelings and to think about where the behaviour may stem from.
-How to try and give children opportunities in a school environment that they might not have at home.
-Mindfulness promotes living in the moment, recognising but not dwelling on stressors and cultivating happiness. It works over a long time with a range of extreme health benefits by training the mind to train the brain.
This really inspired me that I want to learn and understand more about mental health both theoretically and practically.
