Teaching Children the Importance of Relaxation
A Message from Gail
Hello Friends,
Busy schedules and the stress of everyday life are crucial reasons for parents and caregivers to find time to relax and unwind with their children. At Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL), we understand that decompressing together not only helps reduce stress but also strengthens family bonds.
Relaxing activities create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel understood and supported. Modeling self-care and self-love helps children grow to become resilient adults. This is crucial for their long-term emotional and mental well-being. Relaxation can take the form of reading together, going for a walk, journaling, watching movies or listening to calming music. Tailor the activities to your child’s interests to show them that hobbies are a fun way to unwind. These shared experiences help children feel secure and valued while reinforcing positive habits.
At KCSL, we believe that these moments of togetherness are vital for building stronger, happier families. As you incorporate relaxing activities into your routine, you will find that they help reduce household stress and bring your family closer.
I encourage you to cherish these moments of calm and connection. By doing this, you are laying the vital foundation of a supportive home.
Sincerely,
Gail Cozadd
KCSL CEO
