Worry monsters – ‘North Kent Mind had great fun today at St Augustine’s Church, Gillingham, using creative activities to help children understand how to cope with worries. A worry monster is designed to help children talk about and reduce their worries and we helped the children create their own unique monster. The way this helps is by allowing children to write or draw their worry onto a piece of paper and then feed it to their worry monster. Once the monster has eaten it, the worry can then be discussed and shared with an adult, or it disappears completely. Take a look at the photos to see some of today’s creations!

We have had great fun today in Medway running children’s wellbeing sessions to introduce them to the concept of emotions. Through the use of creativity we explored different types of emotions and how to label them, how they might feel and what they could look like. The children were able to keep their glitter jars as a reminder of what they had learnt in the session, as well as a mindful coping tool; just give them a good shake, then watch until the glitter settles in the bottom of the jar to refocus and refresh!
