Great news! CNPS has been allocated a new psychologist from Onpsych. Sarah Chapman is set to begin in term 2. 

If you wish for your child to access psychology sessions onsite, please complete the attached consent and information form and obtain a current Mental Health Care Plan from your child's GP.

Three things to try:

1. Encourage your child to keep a Sleep Diary - If your child is struggling with their sleep and getting into a good sleep routine, you can encourage them to keep a sleep diary to better monitor and understand their sleep. Your child can record the activities they did before bed, what time they went to bed, how long they think they took to fall asleep and how they felt in the morning. On a weekly basis, review the sleep diary with your child to help support them with their sleep. 
2. Encourage movement – If your child is finding it hard to sleep, encourage them to participate in greater physical activities during the day. Increased physical activity can help children to sleep better and feel more energised each day.
3. Introduce meditation and mindfulness – Using guided meditations and mindfulness activities with children can help them develop the skills they need to calm down and relax. Encourage your child to use these strategies before they go to sleep each night.
