The early years learning framework for Australia

Belonging, being and becoming

Wellbeing incorporates both physical and psychological aspects and is central to belonging, being and becoming.

Wellbeing includes good physical health, feelings of happiness, satisfaction and successful social functioning.

Children’s developing resilience and their ability to take increasing responsibility for self-help and basic health routines promote a sense of independence and confidence.

Learning about healthy lifestyles, including nutrition, personal hygiene, physical fitness, emotions and social relationships is integral to wellbeing and self-confidence.

As children become more independent they can take greater responsibility for their health, hygiene and personal care and become mindful of their own and others’ safety.

Routines provide opportunities for children to learn about health and safety. Good nutrition is essential to healthy living and enables children to be active participants in play.
