To celebrate National Children's Mental Health Week we have created a Know Yourself Grow Yourself Workbook. 

This years theme for Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’. When we take notice of ourselves and how we feel, we are able to make better choices and be more connected with our feelings and behaviours. Noticing these things can help us recognise when we need support.

Emotional intelligence means understanding your feelings and knowing how to handle them in a good way. It's like being a feelings detective who can figure out why you are feeling the way you are. All of our emotions are important, there are ones that make us feel good and others that can make us feel uncomfortable, but all of them are there for a reason.

When you have emotional intelligence, you can talk about your emotions with others, which helps you get along better with friends and family. It also means you can understand how others feel, so you can be kind and help them when they need it. By knowing and managing your feelings, you can make better choices and feel more in control, even when things might feel tough.
