MOVEMENT BREAKS: www.gonoodle.com
List of Take-Aways:
1) Develop a daily routine/schedule.
2) Designate a work space with all needed supplies on hand
3) Build in lots of breaks! Kids need movement and exercise. Play outside (if possible) or go to for kid movement break videos (Go Noodle Linked Above).
4) Create checklists/star charts for short tasks so kids can feel productive.
5) Lots of praise and positive reinforcement. It also really helps to praise effort and perseverance vs. “right” or “wrong” answers. Celebrate mistakes as learning opportunities.
6) Chunk tasks where possible if kids get overwhelmed.
7) Build in time for preferred activities (legos, puzzles, dance, music, etc.)
8) Let kids be as independent as possible-it’s okay to let them grapple a bit-they know you are there to support if needed
9) Let the kids teach YOU.
10) Reading for pleasure is a great way to learn! Let kids pick the books they want to read.
11) Don’t be afraid to reach out to your child’s teacher(s) and school staff for support.
12) Forgiveness and Flexibility: This is an unprecedented time and many families are under a great deal of stress. First and foremost, our kids need to know that they are loved and safe.
13) Kids are amazingly resilient. If they are loved and supported, they will be okay.

Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re throwing it back to one of Maria’s most profound healing experiences, her weekend retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza!
Maria takes us inside her time in San Diego with Dr. Joe and 1,600 others, where she discovers what it really means to stop living in the past, break free from old programs, and step into the present moment as the true creator of your life. She shares how just three days of meditations dissolved her anxiety, why forgiveness was the key to her healing, and the powerful ways gratitude, intention, and elevated emotions collapse time to bring what you want closer.
From mystical experiences and heart-opening moments to the science-backed research proving how thoughts shape health, Maria opens up about the breakthroughs that made her feel like she stepped into a whole new body.
And the best part? This isn’t the end of the conversation. Next week, Dr. Joe Dispenza himself joins us again to dive even deeper into the science and practice of becoming your own healer. Consider this your sneak peek into what’s to come!
