Mindfulness at Park Hill
To support your child over the Winter Break, I want you to be supported with some Mindfulness resources. Start with this video: Mindful Holidays. This video includes a relaxing two-minute breathing practice followed by several suggestions on how to maximize your joy this holiday season. In the video description, you will find links for two other Mindfulness practices that are easier to do at home as well as a holiday activity!
As always, you can access the entire video library HERE. Teachers and parents, please participate! If you have questions or suggestions, reach out to me at SustainableThree@gmail.com or #303-898-9496. ~Liz Rutledge
