Let's Stay Kamala

✨ It's okay to feel nervous and anxious—your kids probably feel it, too!

Feeling Conversations 💬 – It’s okay to feel worried or nervous. Talk to your kids about how they’re feeling; sharing can make us feel better and reminds us we’re not alone in our emotions! 🗳️ "With the election happening, there’s been a lot of talk everywhere, and sometimes it can make us feel nervous or worried. How are you feeling about it? Is there anything you’ve heard that made you feel curious, confused, or worried? It’s okay to feel that way! I’m feeling it too."

Create Consistency 📅 – Structure provides comfort. Sticking to routines can help you and your kids feel safe, even on unpredictable days.

Practice Mindfulness 🧘‍♀️ – Take time to pause, breathe deeply, and refocus. Try it with your kids; mindful breathing or a short meditation can work wonders.

Stay Informed, Take Breaks 📰🚫 – Balance is essential. Protect your peace of mind (and your kids') by setting boundaries around news and social media consumption.

Get Active Together 🕺💃 – Movement is a powerful mood-booster! Whether it's a family walk, yoga, or an impromptu dance party in the kitchen, find ways to release energy together.

Focus on Positivity ✨ – Share a small joy or a gratitude moment with your kids. Focusing on the positive, no matter how small, brings comfort and balance.

Personal Timeout ⏸️ – When overwhelmed, give yourself permission to step away. Even a few quiet minutes can make a huge difference in resetting your energy. Kids benefit from a refreshed parent, modeling the importance of self-care.

Remember: By nurturing our mental health, we show our kids the power of resilience and self-care! 

 🌈 No matter what, we will get through it together. 💪✨
