Strategies for Practice 

Evidence-based strategies can be applied by educators to support children's health and wellbeing. Trauma‑informed learning environments must first be created to promote safety, predictability, and trust (Howard, 2021). A second is building and maintaining consistent relationships to foster secure attachment and support emotional regulation (Bowlby, 1969).

Thirdly, a well-being curriculum should be implemented and include mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and self-regulation activities to promote resilience and coping skills (CASEL, 2020). Fourthly, she should locate early distress signals and access referral pathways to link families to specialist services (Reupert & Maybery, 2014).

Finally, engaging families as partners in wellbeing initiatives ensures cultural relevance and fosters collaborative problem-solving. This may include sharing resources and holding parenting workshops or referring families to community health experts.
