Calming

Sometimes kids need more than “take a deep breath.” 💚

When emotions are running high, simple physical strategies can give kids something concrete to do while they work toward calming their bodies and regaining control.

Here are 8 easy strategies to practice together:

• Triangle breathing
• Blow a “bubble”
• Pretzel arms
• Shoulder shrugs
• Knee hugs
• Toe tucks
• Palm presses
• Helpful handshake

The key: practice these when kids are already calm. That way, the strategies are familiar and much easier to use when they’re actually upset, frustrated, worried, or overwhelmed.

Save this one for later — and try a few with your child to figure out which ones work best for them. 💚

Fasting daily

Let’s stop making fasting more complicated than it has to be.

You don’t have to do a 72-hour fast to experience meaningful benefits.

For most people, simply finishing dinner earlier and delaying breakfast can create a 12-16 hour fasting window that supports metabolic health. It’s a simple habit that fits into real life because most of it happens while you’re asleep.
