Getting through this - Healthy Habits, Have You Filled a Bucket today? and Gratitude and Kindness Bingo

What helps us get through tough times? Going back to basics like focusing on healthy habits is one place to start. Practicing self-care, being a compassionate witness, and teaching your children these same skills builds resilience in all of us.

Checklist:
  • Getting plenty of sleep?
  • Eating healthy, well-balanced meals; drinking enough water?
  • Daily physical movement?
  • Getting outside and experiencing the natural world?
  • Investing time to nurture important relationships?
  • Limiting news media and social media?
  • Taking time to unwind and doing something you enjoy?
  • Practicing kindness and gratitude?
  • Washing your hands!
The benefits of practicing kindness and gratitude are well documented. As we have taught the children, it is absolutely true that "when we fill someone else's bucket, we fill our own bucket too." Please cuddle up with your child and enjoy "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?" read by the author, Carol McCloud.
