Supporting optimal health, balance & growth.
Life gets really busy! Ensuring your child can enjoy down time is essential for maintaining health, keeping life balanced and of course giving them the opportunity to optimally grow.
Busy afternoons, long outings every day and activity after activity seems to be the norm in our busy culture. Unfortunately keeping kids busy every day without adequate rest can negatively impact learning and development.
Ways to Slow Life Down...
Providing the opportunity to have days and afternoons at home is the first step to supporting children to relax. Actively taking steps to create the right environment will further enhance the experience.
Lack of rest and time to relax is stress on little bodies...
When a child is overwhelmed with activity, it can create physical exhaustion and emotional stress. Providing the opportunity to enjoy after school activities and structured play is great for growing bodies and minds when they are balanced with elements of free time.
Parents may notice changes in moods, behavior, sleep patterns, levels of resilience and fatigue.
