Oh Lila

Oh Lila Information

Alcohol Focus Scotland has developed a learning resource for use with pre-school age children.

Oh Lila tells the story of an adventurous young hare called Lila, who gets herself into trouble. Lila goes through a range of emotions before confiding in her friend Eric the squirrel who encourages her to seek help from the wise old hare.

The moral of Lila's story is that if children get into trouble or make a mistake, it is always better to speak to someone they trust to help them. 

The Oh Lila story and supporting resources aim to build resilience and protective factors in young children, helping to develop their social skills and encouraging them to communicate. Children have the opportunity to explore a range of issues including identifying trusted adults, asking for help, and feelings and emotions.  

The resource is now being widely used in a number of areas including nurseries, family learning centres and agencies working with children and families.

Oh Lila has been piloted in 8 nurseries and 3 family centres throughout Scotland.
