Are you experiencing stress and anxiety while learning remotely? Are your children wondering how to deal with it, too?
Recognizing how you are feeling can help you to be more aware that you have choices.
There are positive choices you can make to keep yourself in good mental, physical and spiritual health. This concept is the same for children. We must keep in mind there are things in this world we can control and things that we have no control over.
Try family activities that are healthy for your body, mind and spirit, such as a daily family exercise routine, a group morning meditation, journaling together, and preparing healthy meals.
Below are some resources to assist in taking care of your overall health and wellness. There are resources for meditation, home exercise workouts, strategies for coping with anxiety and stress, as well as web sites for creativity and play.
