Day Five

I hope all of the Room 10 families (and those from other classrooms) are okay and safe.

Children will be feeling nervous, anxious and scared, especially with the aftershocks we are getting. Parents need to remember to stay calm, as children often model their own reactions from the people around them.

One healthy way to help children to heal (and for adults to heal too) is to talk about what has happened and talk about our feelings. Face to face talk is brilliant, but if you would like to share your story, you could try www.whenmyhomeshook.co.nz/ which is a website especially for children to share their earthquake stories.

Look after yourselves and kia kaha!
