#tipfortoday for #SelfCareSunday! Teaching self-care to children can start by teaching those basic skills that they need to stay healthy. These small daily tasks can help develop a foundation for taking care of themselves as they grow older #mentalhealth#wellness@fcpsnews
A reminder for our students as we get closer to the end of the year: It’s okay to ask for help. If you're worried about yourself or a friend, reach out to a trusted adult, like a parent, coach or counselor.
You can also use the resources below if you're struggling.
Be well.❤️

#tipfortoday for #WellbeingWednesday! Emotions serve a purpose. What is that emotion telling you that you need in that moment? For example, sometimes grief and sadness help us to identify what’s important to us and can move us towards connectedness #mentalhealth@fcpsnews
If we want to help kids truly develop gratitude, adults need to go a step further — they need to teach kids to notice (who or what we’re grateful for) and think (about why we’re grateful), on a regular basis. @hgse@loryh
