One of the parenting wonders of the world is the mindblowing amount of energy our kids can have after a full day of school, practice, and running around with friends on the playground.

So, how can we help the energetic kids in our lives get the wiggles out when we need a break?

NFL PLAY 60 Kids Day on February 3rd brought together thousands of kids to have fun and get physically active with their favorite teams, players, mascots, and cheerleaders. We all got to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the Super Bowl, but the Kansas City Chiefs took home the most votes at PLAY 60 Kids Day! With their exercise, the Kansas City Championship Plank, the Chiefs had this season’s top NFL PLAY 60 play! But, the real winner of the big game experience were all the kids who got moving with their favorite NFL teams!

Does your overworked parental brain forget that a holiday is coming until 5 a.m. on the actual day? For example, St. Patrick’s Day, you make grand plans in your mind to turn things green, hide a pot of gold, and sing and dance to perfectly-themed videos. But in reality, you forget the ideas until the wee hours of the morning day-of when it’s too late to do much of anything except pull a green shirt out of the hamper for your kiddo to rock that day.
Social-emotional growth takes time. It’s one of the most important building blocks of our kiddos’ health and well being. When nurtured, it can form a strong foundation to help our kids understand and manage their emotions, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible decisions. As parents, caregivers, and role models in our kid’s lives, listening to them and knowing the right questions to ask can guide us in helping them learn how to manage, cope, and best express themselves.
La crianza de los hijos es difícil. Desde el momento en que nuestros adorables querubines entran al mundo, surgen desafíos que nosotros, como padres, tenemos que navegar sin un libro de instrucciones. Y, por supuesto, a medida que empezamos a ponernos de pie y a tener la sensación de que realmente sabemos lo que estamos haciendo, nos enfrentamos a un nuevo set de desafíos. Llamemos a este capítulo que nadie podría haber planeado o querido, La pandemia.

Self-advocacy is not an innate skill for everyone. Children, especially, are often unfamiliar with the concept. This is because, for the most part, many of their needs have been met before they even ask.
In order to introduce self-advocacy skills, parents have to ignore the natural instinct to step in and assist and instead allow their children to recognize, specify, and vocalize their needs. These three aspects are crucial for enacting self-advocacy: children must have opportunities to recognize when they need something; they then need practice identifying exactly what they need that is going to help them through the task or challenge; finally, they need communicative skills to relay that information to others who can provide assistance.

This year is different. It’s different in every way and it continues to keep us on our toes. Within each season, as parents, we are faced with thinking about ways we can provide a sense of “normal” for our kids.
There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to deciding what type of pet will be the best fit for your family. It isn’t something to jump into without taking an honest look at your lifestyle and household, because every pet deserves to have a forever family. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you begin the journey toward welcoming your new family member.

Education is the foundation of our society and teachers are the cement that holds that foundation together. Teachers are nurses, therapists, referees, cheerleaders, IT specialists, role models, and event planners. As parents and caregivers, we witness daily the impact great teachers make on our kiddos, and it leaves us wanting to simply scream from the mountain tops, THANK YOU! This past year has really shown all of us the amazing dedication and love educators pour into kids every single day.
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that the mental health and wellness of people in communities around the world should be a priority. This is especially true for our children, who are in the process of learning how to manage their daily experiences and establish good mental health habits for the rest of their lives.
El crecimiento socioemocional lleva tiempo. Es uno de los componentes básicos más importantes de la salud y el bienestar de nuestros niños. Cuando se nutre, puede formar una base sólida para ayudar a nuestros hijos a comprender y manejar sus emociones, sentir y mostrar empatía por los demás y tomar decisiones responsables. Como padres, cuidadores y modelos a seguir en la vida de nuestros hijos, escucharlos y saber las preguntas correctas que hacer puede guiarnos para ayudarlos a aprender cómo manejarse, afrontar y expresarse mejor.
Como padres, nos asustamos y nos avergonzamos cuando no sabemos de inmediato cómo ayudar a nuestros hijos. Pero no hay ningún libro acerca de la crianza de los hijos que se aplique a todos los niños, y ciertamente no hay uno que funcione en este momento. Estamos muy emocionados de decirles que nos hemos asociado con On Our Sleeves®, el movimiento para transformar la salud mental de los niños a través de la educación, la defensa y la investigación, para brindar herramientas a los padres y maestros para ayudar a los niños en este momento.
¿Sabías que el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana comenzó originalmente como una celebración de una semana? Desde entonces, se ha convertido en una celebración mundial de un mes de la cultura, las voces, los logros y la historia de los afroamericanos. Pero, ¿por qué deberíamos limitar la celebración de la historia afroamericana a solo los 28 (o 29) días de Febrero? Hemos reunido un calendario lleno de formas en que usted y su familia pueden celebrar la diversidad y la cultura Afroamericano durante todo el año.
Esta temporada navideña puede verse diferente a la de años anteriores, pero eso no significa que tus tradiciones navideñas tengan que llegar a su fin. De hecho, es una razón más para celebrar, encontrar nuevas formas de conectarse y crear.
¡Dos nuevos minijuegos, potenciadores y un aleatorizador de juegos amplifican la diversión del movimiento justo a tiempo para las vacaciones!
