So when they get in our car, we're dealing not with just, oh, a clean slate.
Ever wondered how to help kids manage the stress that comes with school? In this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore tackle this very issue with their usual blend of wit and wisdom. They dive into the importance of recognizing 'setting events'—those moments that set the tone for a child's day—and how these can affect kids long after the bell rings.
The conversation is packed with practical advice for both educators and parents. Want to make the car ride home more soothing? They’ve got tips for that. Curious about using affirmations to boost a child’s mood? They cover it. The hosts also share stress management techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness exercises that can be practiced in the classroom. They emphasize the value of turning these practices into habits through repetition, making them second nature for children.
This episode is a treasure trove of actionable tips and heartfelt advice aimed at supporting children's mental health and well-being. Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or just someone interested in mental health, you'll find plenty of useful insights here.
