16.01.2022 A teacher brought balloons and gave one to each student in the classroom. He ordered them to write down their names, left them on the floor and took out the students. Then he told them: "They have 5 minutes to find the balloons with their own names." The students entered and while each one looked for his name the 5 minutes were over. No one could find theirs He later told them: "Now everyone grab any balloon and hand it to the owner." In a minute all the students had their ow...n balloons !! The professor said: Balloons are happiness. No one will find theirs looking for her own without caring about anyone elses. You have to give it to others to receive it! Borrowed from another

11.01.2022 The festive season is in full swing and children can get stressed. Some tips to help your child cope include: keeping a rhythm/routine going; schedule in some down time; give them advance warning of what is happening that say (older children can read a list); allow lots of physical activities (rather than having to sit still for long periods of time) and keep your own self regulation going! #parents#parenting#families#christmastime
