We all have mental health and we all strive to look after it.

Stress can affect our mental health; how can stress manifest itself in children? Watch out for the symptoms of stress and talk about what you see with your children.

Sometimes it is difficult to be heard. Sometimes it is difficult to find the right words. Sometimes we react first and think later. This can cause us to feel in the blue zone as we feel misunderstood or we might feel in the yellow zone as we feel angry at our boundaries being crossed.

Please have a look at this visual and choose one or two strategies. Then put them into practice, work at them. You will find yourself becoming more and more skilled at solving conflict.
