Creating Balance at Home with Fun Activities
Creating Balance at Home
Children need support in creating a balanced lifestyle. Leisurely activities are essential for children to continue to learn and grow. The purpose of the following activities is to promote socialization with family, build and develop their character, as well as encourage the time for kids to be themselves in order to minimize any kind of stress they may be experiencing. During this mandated shelter-in-place order, it is vital that our children receive extra attention and focus on stress reducing activities. It is our hope that this list accomplishes some of the important goals in strengthening the whole child and making mental health a priority in life.
