The “P” in PSHE stands for Personal Education. But what exactly is that? Well, it covers a variety of topics centred around a theme of children being happy and healthy in their own minds and bodies.
Mental health is important to take care of, even amongst KS1 age children. This section deals with recognising and understanding emotions in ourselves and others. It also tells children some of the warning signs and gives them strategies for dealing with negative feelings. Most of the quizzes have a link at the bottom to the relevant BBC Bitesize page.
The concept of self and individuality are also parts of personal education. It is important that children understand that they are individuals and that we are all different. It is OK and natural that we are all individuals and children need to respect themselves to nurture good self-esteem.
