Here is a great family friendly Yoga activity that is perfect for children and people of all ages. Challenge your family to participate in activities like these together weekly to help strengthen your mental health.

Read Together!

Parents are encouraged to read with children beginning as early as infancy. Reading together increases your ability to empathize, helps prevent age-related cognitive decline, reduces stress, prepares you for a good nights rest and can alleviate depression symptoms. Reading at home can also increase vocabulary, raises self-esteem, builds good communication skills and strengthens the prediction engine that is in the human brain.

Help Your Kids Understand their Emotions

Kids who understand their emotions are less likely to act out by using temper tantrums, aggression, and defiance to express themselves. A child who can say, “I’m mad at you,” is less likely to hit. And a child who can say, "That hurts my feelings," is better equipped to resolve conflict peacefully. Teaching your child about his emotions will help him become mentally strong. Kids who understand their emotions and have the coping skills to deal with them will be confident that they can handle whatever life throws their way. Read more

Knowing that it is okay to seek help for you or someone you know is key to a brighter future.
