Be the Calm You Want To See
Resources + Activities
Be mindful of your mental state and how you spend the day, including what you say on the phone, on the internet, etc.—even if your kids don’t hear or read those comments, negative thoughts can consume you.
Taking simple steps to speak and act from a place of relative calm, rather than from a place of fear or stress, can help buffer stress kids might be feeling, and help co-regulate their emotions.
