It’s not unusual for teens to have mood swings. Try reassuring them that it’s okay to feel that way.

But if they’re really upset or emotional about something explain that these feelings are completely normal. And that it's also normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes and encourage them to do something to help them feel calmer.

Parent Club have lots of ideas to help you support your teen, visit – ParentClub.scot

Farm animals can carry germs we can’t see.

🥪 If you’re visiting a petting farm or zoo, it’s important to only eat or drink in designated picnic areas or cafes.

🧼 Before you do, always wash your hands with soap and water first, and supervise young children to make sure they do it properly too.
