In an age of hearing different perspectives at all times via social media and the constant hustle culture, what does self-care look like? Is it actually a selfish thing to pursue or is it necessary for survival? With information overload how is an individual to differentiate what is important to them versus what one has heard an Instagram influencer say? Self-care for children and teenagers may look a lot different than for adults and parents, and this is an important aspect to realize when raising or working with children.
In this hands-on workshop, we will seek to clearly define what self-care is and the purpose behind it. We hope to help you understand your why behind self-care and how to support this for yourself, your family, and your children. Mindfulness is a huge part of self-care that we will also dive into and gain some practical techniques on how to apply this in your day to day. Will you join as we seek to set foundations for some common terms that are thrown around quite a bit these days?
