Jot the friendly robot emotional wellbeing tips for children

'Jot the friendly robot' - wellbeing resources for children in Suffolk

Suffolk County Council's Children and Young People's Engagement Hub Team, and JG Mind Doodles, in partnership with NHS Suffolk and Northeast Essex Integrated Care Board (SNEE ICB), has created a 'Jot the friendly robot' campaign to help support children with their wellbeing, as well as young people with learning difficulties.

Jot the friendly robot is an animated character that is being used in Suffolk to help start a conversation with children of primary-school-age (children aged 5-11 years old) about the importance of talking about our feelings when we feel sad or worried.

The 'Jot the friendly robot' campaign resources below provide a fun way to assist parents, carers, primary school teachers and educational settings in supporting children and young people with emotional literacy (managing difficult emotions) in the classroom and at home.
