We are approaching the month of May, which is Mental Health Month.  Here are some examples you may use at home with your children: 

 1. Mindful Breathing Exercises

● Teach children to focus on their breath: "Smell the flower" (inhale) and "Blow the candle" (exhale).

● Practice for 1–3 minutes daily.

2. Feelings Chart

● Create a colorful chart with different emotions.

● Let children point to or describe how they feel each day.

3. Creative Expression (Art & Music)

● Offer time for painting, drawing, dancing, or playing music.

● Focus on feelings, not perfection.

4. Positive Affirmations

● Practice daily affirmations like "I am strong," "I am loved," or "I can handle hard things."

● Make it fun by creating a poster or mirror cards.

5. Yoga and Stretching

● Introduce simple child-friendly yoga poses (like tree pose, cat-cow).

● Helps with relaxation, balance, and body awareness.

6. Emotion Storytime

● Read books that discuss emotions and mental health (like The Color Monster by Anna Llenas).

● Talk about the characters' feelings afterward.

7. Nature Walks

● Go outside and notice the colors, sounds, and smells.

● Use it as a calming reset for the mind.

8. Breathing Buddy

● Have children lay down and put a stuffed animal on their belly.

● Watch it rise and fall with deep breaths — making mindfulness visible and fun.
