The crab and Whale

12/01/2021

Children’s lives are changing and mental health issues are becoming more prevalent in primary age children. During ELSA sessions I introduce mindfulness activities, which build resilience; giving children internal resources, helping them to cope with difficulties and challenges. Crab and Whale is a beautifully illustrated story, designed to subtly introduce children to the skills and practice of mindfulness.
