Instill in your children the importance of self-care
at an early age so that they may learn to prioritize their mental and physical health into adulthood, and
better pave the way for a healthy, happy life
As an adult, you may understand that setting aside time to care for your body, heart, mind and soul is a key ingredient for leading a healthier and happier life. This is why we often engage in self-care practices that prioritize our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
​
So if self-care is so good for us, imagine how great it would be for a child to develop a self-care mindset at a very young age...
The earlier your child learns self-care, the more likely they are to:
-
Develop and maintain self-care attitudes
-
Include self-care in their daily routine
-
Equip themselves with healthy tools to combat anxiety and depression
-
Express self-love and confidence
Body
Encourage your child to pursue physical activities that they enjoy. This is important!
e.g. sports, dance, and walks
Heart
Expose your kids to a variety of strategies so they can discover what suits their needs best e.g. Journaling
Mind
Introduce activities that encourage mindfulness, self-awareness, and tolerance
e.g. Big Life Journal
Soul
Create opportunities for centering and connection in your child's daily routine
e.g. cuddle time or meditate
