Every child is one adult away from success. Be that adult for a child. When children know you believe in them, it changes everything. They can soar even when facing struggle and obstacles. It takes all of us to help our children flourish.

The #holidays are typically a time for joy, but it can also be a source of negative emotions (incl sadness, anxiety & irritability)—esp w the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic. To help support your #MentalHealth, we have compiled planning & wellbeing resources at dmh.lacounty.gov/resources/h…
Be a child’s roots
"A gigantic body of research shows that the relationships in a kid's life are like the roots of a tree," said educator Kent Pekel. "When kids have strong roots they can grow, they can thrive, they can withstand the storms life throws at them." ow.ly/8AR950CKprM
Parents: Here’s how you can help your children feel less anxious and afraid during the pandemic isolation. TY @MindShiftKQED @NPRCoryTurner @anya1anya @meghankeane
Kids are likely missing out on lots of the physical contact they normally get — contact that can't be replicated online. Keep that in mind, and don't hold back on the physical affection — the hugs, the pillow fights, the hair ruffles, all of it. ow.ly/8q1n50CI000

Read this and share it to lift up those around you. Many action steps you can take today — such as Find Your Resilience Circle + Make Your Gift 4 Today + Don’t Doom Fast Forward.
TY @MindShiftKQED and @VAPAJeannine for sharing.
Check in with yourself. Allow yourself to get in touch with how you're feeling. Reflect both on what's hard and on what's still good. Maybe that's in a journal or through a prayer or a conversation with a friend. ow.ly/usvs50CGnzL
