February 2024

Welcome to THE SCOOP – February Edition!   

This issue of THE SCOOP is focused on our Tweens and Teens. We can all remember what it felt like to be at that in-between kid / adult stage. Still wanting to do the fun things that kids do, but you want to be treated at as a grown up. This issue focuses on some of those important parts of growing up. And growing up in the day and age of social media.

You can find information on how to support your young person with their feelings,  information on teens and mental health, and helping your teen build healthy eating habits. We also try and help with getting your tween / teen outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and away from their devices.

Wishing you good luck with this last one, we are all in this together!
