Nurturing Wellbeing at Home: The Six Pillars
Screens
Helping tamariki navigate the digital world. We provide practical tips for balanced screen time and mindful habits that boost focus.
- Keep screens to 30 mins a day before bed
- Make family meal time a screen-free zone
Sleep
Getting enough shut-eye is vital for brain growth. Steady sleep patterns help with concentration and managing big emotions.
- Stick to a calming nightly wind-down
- Create a dark, quiet sleep environment
Connection
Creating solid links with whānau. We prioritise social skills and ensuring every child feels truly heard in their environment.
- Use a 'feeling diary' for emotions
- Ask open questions about their day
Movement
Active play and sensory discovery. Physical activity aids motor skills and helps little ones process new learnings.
- Aim for an hour of outdoor play
- Try simple stretches or family yoga
Language
Words and talking. We explore how great kōrero and storytelling support their journey toward reading and basic maths.
- Read together for 20 mins nightly
- Tell stories about your own day
