Advent Calendar — December 1st

December often brings pressure, noise and rising emotions. In these moments, it is easy for adults and children to focus only on what feels difficult. Today, take a short pause and name one thing that has gone well, however small. It might be a settled transition or a quiet moment of kindness in the corridor. When we notice these moments, our nervous system receives a message of safety and hope. This small shift can change the emotional tone of the day in a meaningful way. By modelling positive noticing, we also teach children that progress happens even in busy or challenging times.
