Healthy and safe families
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe the way that a healthy family should treat each other.
Key learning points
- Families should treat each other kindly and with love.
- Healthy families make each other feel safe and secure.
- Families should not make each other feel scared or worried.
- If our trusted adults have worries, they are not our fault, and we should still feel safe and secure.
Keywords
Safe - something that won't hurt us
Secure - feeling protected and safe from harm
Worried - feeling scared or nervous about something that might happen
Common misconception
Every child gets the support, love and care that they need.
Many children do not have their needs met and may require extra support. For example, this can come from school or social care.
Teacher tip
Pupils who do not have a healthy home environment may find this lesson upsetting. Ensure that you create space for pupils to share their worries with you, and be prepared to record disclosures if appropriate.
