Teaching Ourselves & Our Children to Celebrate Ourselves/Themselves
Big or small, celebrations matter because they offer opportunities to recognize ourselves and others. We all need validation, it's also fun.
Birthdays, graduations, weddings, family celebrations - we don't need much of a reason to be with the ones that we love. There are so many reasons to recognize the moments that are worthy of recognition. These moments can turn into habits of happiness and gratitude that in-turn hardwire virtues and values.
It's affirming to be acknowledged. When we celebrate each other (and ourselves) often, it builds esteem and social awareness. Celebrate!! It will make everyone smile.

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
