Adults give many invisible gifts—patience, advocacy and calm presence—that shape children’s lives. Write down three gifts you’ve given this year. Reflecting in this way supports self-compassion and reminds you that your efforts matter, even when progress feels slow. #JogoCalendar2025 #families

Adults sometimes react more strongly than intended. Repairing with simple words like “My voice was louder than I wanted. You matter” shows accountability without shame. Repair teaches children that relationships stay safe, building trust and emotional resilience. #JogoCalendar2025 #families

Reflective practice supports therapeutic integrity. Taking a few minutes to notice where you offered playfulness, presence and permission helps maintain intention in child-centred play therapy. Regular reflection supports growth and keeps therapists grounded. #JogoCalendar2025 #playtherapists

Family stories help children understand who they are and where they belong. Sharing simple everyday memories builds warmth, connection and identity. When families tell stories together, children learn their experiences and perspectives matter. #JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #families

Pausing isn’t a luxury, it supports regulation. A one-minute break to breathe, stretch or drink water can reset the nervous system and improve clarity. Encourage staff to pause today; it boosts wellbeing and models healthy regulation for pupils. #JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

Children’s progress is often quiet and easy to miss. Notice one small step today, a calmer transition or a gentler response. Recognising these moments builds confidence and supports long-term growth.

Invite children to share one wish for how they would like school to feel next term. Their ideas offer valuable guidance for planning routines and support. Listening shows their voice matters and strengthens trust between pupils and staff. #JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

A small regulation tray with dough or soft tactile items can help children settle after busy transitions. Adding feeling flags or cards supports emotional literacy and helps children name their experiences. Over time, the tray becomes a trusted regulation tool. #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

School staff work hard and may miss their own strengths. Taking a moment to acknowledge a colleague can lift morale and deepen connection. A short note or kind word helps create a culture of appreciation that supports staff wellbeing.

Bedtime can feel unsettled in December. A simple three-step ritual something that went well, a feeling word and a hope for tomorrow helps children process their day and feel understood. This small routine creates warmth and steadiness.

A quick grounding game, touching wall, floor, chair and self helps children reconnect with their bodies and reduce tension. These playful resets support group regulation, prevent dysregulation and create a shared sense of calm.

Kindness can quietly transform a school day. A Kindness Tree helps pupils notice and celebrate small caring acts. As the leaves fill, it reminds everyone that kindness is present, even in a busy term, and encourages more of it.

A 10-minute “special play time” at home lets the child lead while the adult follows, without teaching or correcting. These small, attuned moments build trust, connection and support the child’s therapeutic journey.
