COVID-19 has affected every human being’s life in one way or another. Now, more than ever, we should be safeguarding and promoting the well-being of the children in our care.

This booklet provides children with 7 structured tasks that can be completed at their own pace. They focus on:
• Discussing the best and worst parts of life in lockdown
• Celebrating one’s successes and new-found skills
• Allowing the child some time to relax with mindful activities
• Empowering children to communicate feelings & concerns
