Strong Communities Start with Encouragement
1. Be Humble and teach others to do the same - it makes room for growth.
2. Forgive - it feels good and teaches that mistakes are part of the process of building relationships.
3. Model inclusivity - don't engage in drama or gossip.
4. Be mindful of how we communicate - start with encouragement and provide feedback respectfully.
5. Share knowledge, it makes us curious and want to discover.
6. Always lead with love, not fear.

You can only be the best version of yourself if you have a solid foundation.
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
