We love a reflection activity, thinking of happy memories is an instant mood lifter. Have your child think of two of their favourite memories from this summer and draw them in the glasses.

Why is reflection important?

Reflection allows you us identify and appreciate positive experiences. Self-reflection is also key to building self-awareness: it allows us to look neutrally at our experiences, actions and behaviours.

Benefits:

• Boost memory and help children learn to appreciate the good moments in their lives.
• Think back to positive experiences and boost happiness.
• Mood lifting, calming and mindful.
• Creative expression and art therapy – did you know that when you draw, you release serotonin, endorphins, dopamine, and norepinephrine?
