All day long children are carrying round an invisible rucksack.
You can’t see it, but it’s there.
Children carry an imaginary rucksack that needs to be filled daily with T-I-M-E, love, affection, attention & security.
When children’s rucksacks are full, they feel safe, secure, confident, valued and happy. They have good self-esteem & are resilient to life’s ups and downs.
They feel connected to you and your family. They don’t feel the need to constantly attention seek, play up or misbehave to get your time & attention as their emotional needs are being met.
Over time they learn how to fill up their own emotional rucksack as they develop their own resilience.
This all nurtures your child’s mental health and wellbeing.
When a child’s rucksack is empty, they feel stressed, anxious and worried.
Rucksack filling is fun and easy to do.
