For Parents\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining good mental wellness begins at home. Several easy and fun ways exist to achieve a happy and healthy mindset. Here are a few strategies we recommend!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor Playtime:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Encourage outdoor activities, even in the winter. Fresh air and physical exercise can improve mood and reduce stress. Bundle up in warm clothing and engage in winter sports or simple outdoor play. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s an idea for outdoor play!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Daylight Exposure: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ensure exposure to natural daylight. Open curtains during the day to let in sunlight and encourage outdoor activities during daylight hours. Limited exposure to natural light can contribute to seasonal affective disorder (SAD).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Structured Routine:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Maintain a consistent daily routine. Predictability and structure can provide a sense of security for children, helping them feel more in control of their environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
