Aim:
CalmChildren at Christmas gives your family an opportunity to forget about any worries and join in with fun activities such as crafts and relaxation stories. A perfect family bonding time all in the safety of your own home. Craft packs will be posted out to your family and we will work together in real time via zoom on the activities.
CalmChildren at Christmas is based on the theme of gratitude with fun activities created to increase confidence, positivity, laughter, and family connections. This opportunity for families provides structured support and switch off time in what may be a very challenging time of the year and potentially more so this year with a recession and pandemic.
