My friends at Psychology for Geeks created some wonderful self-care and mindfulness worksheets for learners of all ages to use as we get ready to go back to school! Practicing how to identify emotions and manage stress doesn’t have to be boring! Coloring, yoga, and remembering what brings us joy can help us all improve our mental wellness and academic performance. Give these worksheets a try and let us know what you think!
To hear Dr. Elizabeth Sanchez Arvizu talk about these worksheets, click on the video below. It’s recommended to use these as conversation starters. If your students/learners aren’t worksheets kids, you can just leave it in places to spark ideas. You can also mention some of these concepts during meal times or play.
Self-care shouldn’t be a chore or be associated with negative feelings. As parents and caregivers, we can also model these practices to the young people in our lives.
