9 mental health exercises which should be a part of your child’s daily routine

More than 75% of Americans report symptoms of daily stress, including headaches, tiredness and sleeping problems. (American Psychological Association, 2019)

57% of these respondents feel paralyzed by stress. Paralyzed!!!

Most of us have either felt or at least know what the detrimental effects of stress can do to us mentally and physically. Most of us also know what we need to do to prevent or alleviate this stress, but we hardly follow through. I mean, who has the time to squeeze in therapy, yoga, decompression exercises, yada, yada, yada, into our days.

We are all guilty of not taking care of our mental and physical health at some point in our lives.

I would bet all the money in my pocket, however, that if you could prevent your child from feeling the detrimental effects from overwhelming stress, you would. Imagine our kids growing up having the tools to prevent or alleviate their stress?

Personally, having the tools in my back pocket through high school and college would have been so helpful, lessoning my anxiety, migraines, stomach aches… even acne! Transitioning into adulthood would have been an easier process. If only we normalized talking about mental health at that time.
