Mental Health Resources for 5-8 Year Olds
Between the ages of five and eight, children begin comparing themselves to others, can internalise any negative emotions that might arise and show rapid development of mental skills. It is said that these years are the most formative of our lives, the years which shape our personality and the years in which our first memories are made. This is the time to be exploring thoughts and feelings with your children, helping them to understand how to look after their mental wellbeing as they grow.

Ease Worries with our Calming Resources
Some children are simply born more anxious and less able to cope with stress than others. Some children can also pick up behaviours being around anxious adults. Between these ages, children can show signs of anxiety, start having panic attacks and become more aware of their thoughts and feelings and how this impacts them. Although signs may not be easy to spot, signs of anxiety in young children can include complaints of more physical symptoms such as upset tummies and racing heartbeats. We have lots of resources to help calm anxious children and teach them coping techniques that will last a lifetime.
