Thank you to Nicole Campbell, one of our fabulous Board Members, for sharing this adorable picture. There can not be many things cuter than little children practicing yoga!
Nicole has some awesome suggestions for what families can do while at home for a few weeks. These are her “main musts” when staying at home with kids!
Limit screen time. It’s tempting to just plop down and watch movies, but we all feel better if we play and stay active instead. Music is a great alternative but make sure it’s not straight kid music, or you’ll lose your mind.
Keep a normal schedule. I try to line up naps and meals the same as they’re used to at school. Kids thrive on routines.
Most importantly, give grace to them and yourself. It’s hard work to work from home and manage kids. There’s not a perfect way to do it, and we’re all bound to make mistakes and lose our patience. Just forgive yourself quickly for mistakes and keep trying to make it work.
Thank you, Nicole, for your wise words. The Wallace is grateful to have you on board. (Get it? On Board? Hahahaha!) We love hearing from out Board Members, and be on the look out to hear from more!
