Take care,
The Healthy Lives team at London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Here's a selection of fun activities and helpful information for you and your family...
 What to do if your child is ill, and it is NOT coronavirus
Whilst children can get coronavirus, it is rarely serious. Therefore if your child is ill it is likely to be a non-coronavirus illness, rather than coronavirus itself.
Whilst it is important to follow government guidance around staying at home, it can be confusing to know what to do when your child is unwell or injured. That is why The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has developed this one page guide for parents.
Remember that NHS 111, GPs and hospitals are still providing the same safe care that they have always done. Tower Hamlets have also created some simple advice on a range of common conditions for under-fives, available in English and Bengali.
 Animated resources to support the wellbeing of children and young people
This collection of short animations has been created in collaboration with animator Robin Lane-Roberts, to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. They are free to watch, download and share!
 Download your free Cook with Jack cookbook!
Bite Back 2030 first began producing Cook with Jack every school day on YouTube to encourage pupils to get cooking. Jack Deane showed us how to put together a series of healthy, tasty and affordable lunches and now you can download your own FREE e-cookbook.
 Relaxation tips for bedtime
Feeling relaxed is important in the run up to bedtime for both you and your child. The Children’s Sleep Charity has put together some helpful tips for parents to keep children calm as bedtime approaches.
 "The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do."
