How connection can boost wellbeing this summer
Jul 23, 2025If your child is anxious about school, the summer holidays can feel like a much-needed breather. In this video, I introduce The Five Ways to Wellbeing—a set of evidence-based strategies for improving emotional wellbeing—and explore the first of these: connection.
You'll hear how meaningful moments with others can help reduce stress, lift mood, and support children (and parents) who’ve had a tough school year. Whether it’s reconnecting with your child through simple shared activities, supporting friendships, or building your own support network—this video offers gentle, practical ways to start rebuilding wellbeing thought connecting with others over the summer holidays.
