Kids - Feel-Good Habits for Happy Brains!

Happy Habits to Try Every Day

Here are some easy ways to help kids feel their best each day:

• Morning Booster 🌞 – Each morning, think of one thing that makes you happy, like your favorite game or a fun family activity. It’s a great way to start the day with a positive mindset

• Take 3 Big Breaths 🌬️ – When things feel overwhelming, taking three big breaths can help you feel calm. Try it when you’re upset or worried, and notice how it helps you feel better.

• Talk it Out 💬 – If something’s bothering you, don’t keep it to yourself. Talk about it with a grown-up or a friend. Sharing can make you feel lighter and more at ease.

Did You Know?

Helping others can make you feel happier, too! When you do something kind, like sharing a snack or drawing a picture for a friend, it brings joy to others—and to you! Think of one nice thing you could do today to spread happiness.

Fun Activity: Emotion Charades 🎭

Here’s a game that’s all about exploring emotions! Gather your family or friends and play “Emotion Charades.” Here’s how:

• Choose an Emotion: Pick a feeling like “excited,” “curious,” or “proud.”

• Act It Out: Use facial expressions and body language to show the feeling.

• Guessing Time: See if your family or friends can guess the emotion!

Playing Emotion Charades is a fun way to learn about different feelings and how they show up in our bodies. Plus, it’s a great activity for everyone to bond and understand each other better!

Encourage kids to practice these habits and activities to build emotional wellbeing skills. Together, we’re helping kids keep their brains strong !
