This Children’s Mental Health Week, we celebrate how safe, child-led play helps children feel they truly belong.

Belonging grows when peers, adults and services work together to hold the child. For more info on how we can support please click here: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/services

At the heart of Play Therapy is a strong therapeutic alliance that enables the child’s inner resources to support growth and change. Play is the primary language, and words come second.  More Info: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/play-therapy

In play therapy, entering the child’s play means meeting them where their thoughts, feelings, and inner world come together, creating space for connection, understanding, and healing. Please click here: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/play-therapy

In play therapy, play is the child’s natural language. Through play, children express feelings and work through difficulties in ways that feel safe, meaningful, and true to them. Please Click Here: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/play-therapy

Helen Fields emphasises that therapy is not about talking; it is about being heard. In play therapy, children do not need to find the right words to be understood. Through play, they express thoughts, feelings and experiences in ways that feel natural and safe.

Relationships shape the developing brain. Neurosequential approaches remind us: regulate first, relate next, reason last. For more info: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/behaviour-support

Understanding behaviour allows empathy to replace blame. Trauma-informed responses support safety, regulation and connection. For more info: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/behaviour-support

When we understand trauma’s impact on the developing brain, behaviour makes sense. Regulation comes before reasoning. Compassion changes outcomes. For more details: https://www.jogobehavioursupport.com/behaviour-support

To the children, families, schools, professionals and Jogo team, thank you for all the care, curiosity and playfulness you bring each day. Here’s to a year of connection, gentle growth, shared laughter and moments of joy, even in the hard bits. We are glad to be walking alongside you.

As we wish you a Merry Christmas, we thank the families, school staff and professionals who show care to children every day. Your patience and steady presence make a lasting difference. Wishing you warmth, safety and calm this festive season. #JogoBehaviourSupport

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. 

#JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools #parents

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. 

#JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

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. 

#JogoCalendar2025 #families #parents #jogobehavioursupport

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. 

#JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

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. 

#JogoBehaviourSupport #JogoCalendar2025 #schools

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.
