11. Reduce stress.
Search online for free videos about yoga for children and families, or try incorporating deep breathing into your children’s bedtime routine. Children experience stress and anxiety just like adults do.
12. Show gratitude.
Create a gratitude jar and encourage everyone to put a note in the jar each day with something they are grateful for. While you are all at the dinner table, take time to read them. Open your heart to gratitude and acknowledge suffering during challenging times.
If you find yourself struggling to get your family on board, remember that modeling healthy behaviors is a good place to start. You may not be able to make your family change, but you can start on your own wellness journey. Once they see the changes you are making, chances are they will want to jump on board too.
