Teacher video: Mental wellbeing - Q&A with RSE & PSHE Consultant and teacher Sarah Huggins

This video explores how to approach physical health education in RSHE lessons. Sarah discusses the importance of teaching children about the links between diet, sleep, and physical activity, and how these lessons can complement subjects like D&T and PE. She offers guidance on handling sensitive issues such as childhood obesity, family eating disorders, and lack of parental support, while maintaining a safe and respectful classroom environment. The interview also highlights the Eatwell Guide as a model for healthy eating and stresses the importance of promoting balance over restriction. Finally, it addresses how to spot signs of illness in pupils without causing unnecessary anxiety.
