During the session we will think about strategies to support with:

- Planning and Prioritising: Being able to set goals and working out the steps to achieve them.
- Working Memory: The ability to hold information in your mind over a short period of time.
- Self-Regulation: The ability to regulate and stay on task in stressful situations e.g. not giving up when frustrated.
- Attention: Attention is generally influenced by two other executive function skills; inhibition and self regulation.

Do you know the 50p rule? If your child has a burn bigger than this you need to get medical advice right away.

Babies, toddlers and preschoolers have delicate skin that burns easily. Knowing what to do if your child suffers a burn can mean the difference between lifelong scarring and a child who heals well.

Remember COOL, CALL, COVER

COOL the burn for at least 20 minutes with cool (not cold) running water
CALL for help for any burn bigger than a 50p coin.
COVER the burn loosely with cling film or a clean, non-fluffy dressing or cloth.
