Love 

How Do You and Your Loved Ones Love?

Quiz: What's Your Love Language (Quizes for Couples, Singles, Children and Teens)

Loving others is hard but loving ourselves can be even more challenging. There is so much focus on romantic love, we often overlook the importance of nurturing how we need to be loved. Exploring our identity through the lens of love can be eye opening for ourselves and those who love us.

Feeling loved and a sense of belonging for all of us is developed within our relationships. Having strong relationships build a sense of self and help us understand how we interact with the world in a social and emotional way. Relationship mapping is a great way to understand how our students "fit" in the communities they are involved in.

The AAP recommends the following (healthychildren.org):

  • Children 6 to 12 years of age should sleep 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

  • Children 6 years and older need 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most days of the week (free play and organized sports focused on fun).

  • The AAP recommends that families create a Media Plan in order to address the multifaceted impacts that all kinds of media and screen time have on children. Attached to this report is a Tip Sheet for parents on screen time. Additionally, create your family media plan here: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/media/Pages/default.aspx
