 Weekly wins diary
The Scouts have produced template diaries for children and families to record little victories and work out what acts of kindness do for wellbeing. Using the diary template, come up with three weekly wins or use it to record when something nice happens e.g. what happened? When did it happen? Who did you help? How did you feel after? This can be completed as a family or on your own. At the end of each week you can share as much, or as little as you like. Looking back at ‘little wins’ will be nice to look back on if anyone is unhappy or worried about something.

This can happen for lots of reasons. The clinical team at the Anna Freud Centre has put together some tips for parents and carers experiencing conflict, and advice on reducing the impact of conflict between parents and carers on children.
