While Mason Cooley, sure predicted our future with his quote, “Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” And let’s not forget Dr. Seuss, who said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go”. Remember, “Reading is essential for those who seek above the ordinary,” said Jim Rohn. So keep in mind, reading is a marvelous adventure anyone can have! #distancelearningASFM Amazon Top 10 Recommended Books By Ages

Although it requires time, patience, and extra clean up, there are plenty of beneﬁts of cooking with your kids. We can consider cooking a life skill necessary to learn to become independent as they grow and reach their milestones. The younger our children start cooking, and it will soon become a skill that they are well adapted to by adulthood. When children are involved in the cooking process, they stimulate their curiosity and develop an adventurous and varied taste palette, making them keener to try new ingredients and foods. Cooking at home also promotes a healthier lifestyle by consuming less sugar and processed foods. Besides, cooking can be fun and an excellent opportunity to strengthen family bonds. There are thousands of recipes you can ﬁnd online. Here are a few that are easy, delicious, and fun for kids to cook with you. #distancelearningASFM "Good Food = Good Mood"

There is no age to get your children involved in the kitchen. Although it requires time, patience, and extra clean up, there are plenty of benefits of cooking with your kids. We can consider cooking a life skill necessary to learn to become independent as they grow and reach their milestones. The younger our children start cooking, and it will soon become a skill that they are well adapted to by adulthood. When children are involved in the cooking process, they stimulate their curiosity and develop an adventurous and varied taste palette, making them keener to try new ingredients and foods. Cooking at home also promotes a healthier lifestyle by consuming less sugar and processed foods. Besides, cooking can be fun and an excellent opportunity to strengthen family bonds. There are thousands of recipes you can find online. Here are a few that are easy, delicious, and fun for kids to cook with you.

For the Body & Mind This section is divided into two parts, body and mind. The ﬁrst segment is on exercising our bodies from home. This might be a challenge, considering that some of us enjoy outside activities, such as walking, hiking, or swimming. But let’s try to stay focused on our health and stay safe at home. You can create an exercise routine that involves your family; this way, you can all motivate each other as you enjoy an activity together. Remember, physical activity stimulates the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These brain chemicals play an important part in regulating our mood. For example, regular exercise can positively impact serotonin levels in our brains and make us feel happy. Here are some free resources that can guide you through your family’s exercise routine.

Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment and accepting it without judgment. Mindfulness is now being examined scientiﬁcally and has been found to be a key element in stress reduction and overall happiness. Research has found that mindfulness improves well-being, physical, and mental health. Mindfulness can be cultivated through mindfulness meditation, a systematic method of focusing your attention. You can learn to meditate on your own, following instructions in books or on apps.

https://youtu.be/ug8lWxTxVZAEjercicio mental de mirada fresca Home Heroes - Helping out With Chores Collaboration is a value that we must instill at home and what better to do so by involving our children in home chores. Through household chores, children can learn many life skills, such as caring for themselves and others, organization skills, preparing meals, and even keeping a garden. When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel responsible, competent, and reliable. Besides, sharing housework can help families work better as a team and reduce family stress.

Now, considering the community we live in, our children are not used to be in charge of chores, and it might be a challenge to bring them quickly onboard. But let’s be optimistic and creative, there are various ways to involve children with household responsibilities. We ﬁrst need to consider their age and abilities. A chore that’s too hard for a child can be frustrating – or even dangerous – and one that’s too easy might be tedious and annoying. Toddlers are always eager to help out, also if this means more work for us. A two-year-old child can help with three basic chores: pick -up toys, put dirty clothes in the laundry bin, and wipe up spills. #distancelearningASFM As children grow up, they might not be as eager to help out as a toddler. However, as parents, we need to be consistent with our expectations and praise their contributions, making them feel useful, valued, and reliable. Praising them will boost their self- esteem and motivate them to continue helping out. Here is an “Age-Appropriate Chores for Children” chart that parents can rely on during these weeks at home.
