Together with Mindful Practices we’ve created a Free offline resource to help parents & kids practice SEL at Home.
It starts with a quick check-in with their emotional needs. Suggestions on how to help them feel heard and not judged when they share. Then we’ve included 5 simple practices to help kids regulate their body & mind during these stressful times.
All this in a single page PDF that can easily be shared digitally or printed out and shared with those kids that don’t have access to the Internet or a printer.
