How Do I Keep My Children Physically and Mentally Active During Breaks?
News
read more …
Keeping children physically and mentally active is one of the most important jobs that parents have. A healthy body and mind will set children up for success later in life, and a few simple tasks each day in childhood can help children excel now and in the future.
During extended breaks like winter or summer break, children sometimes go long periods without physical or mental stimulation. While a few hours a week in front of the TV is fine, children who spend too much time lying around the house will start to fall behind their peers.
Understanding Emotional Factors in Recovery
News
read more …
Emotional factors play a significant role in the recovery journey. Individuals may have to navigate setbacks and relapses, and it is essential to recognize that emotions and negative feelings are a natural part of the process. As individuals work towards recovery, they may experience a range of emotions, including anger, frustration, sadness, and anxiety.
These emotions can arise from various triggers, such as memories of past substance abuse or challenging life circumstances. Individuals in recovery must learn healthy ways to cope with these emotions rather than turning to addictive substances for relief.
