Stay Healthy with Your Family this Monday
Wellness is a family affair. The more parents encourage and promote healthy habits within the household, the more likely children are to adopt those behaviors later in life. That being said, kids are not always so inclined to follow new routines, especially when those routines mean more unfamiliar foods, moments of quiet, or exercising. It’s a general rule that abrupt or sudden changes are typically met with resistance. Therefore, the key to instilling more health behaviors is to incorporate them gradually, as a family.
This week we’re featuring our Healthy Monday for the Family Package, a six-week series designed to help families address different areas of wellness, such as stress-relief, nutrition, and physical activity. The practices and techniques are intended to be simple, measured, and easy-to-implement, but most importantly, they’re intended to be performed together — every Monday — by the entire family. From nature walks to sky-gazing to collaborative cooking, there are plenty of fun ways to start the week with wellness in mind.
