5 Reasons You are Yelling at Your Kids
This 4 minute video for caregivers features White River School District mental health therapist Stephanie Dann sharing about the 5 reasons you are yelling at your kids. You are normal: you might feel like the only person who struggles with this but we all yell sometimes.You are imperfect: imperfection is the one thing we all have in common. When we can embrace we are imperfect, we can admit our mistakes and refocus our attention in a positive direction.You are skipping self-care: our bodies are not meant to be in a constant stress state, that is easier said than done right now. Try to fit in some self-care, even just five deep breaths!You need more practice doing things differently: interrupting patterns we learned from our own childhood can be hard, but it does get easier over time.You need support: talk to someone like a supportive friend or family member about your shortcomings. Sometimes it can also be helpful to talk to a mental health therapist. There are many in the community who can help, and some are even seeing clients for free! Email [email protected] to get connected. Challenge: Take five deep breaths when you feel like you are going to “lose it” with your kids.

There is a lot we don’t have control over right now, but one thing we do is how we choose to treat others.
You have the power to choose kindness, respect and care. Doing that impacts the world!
Kindness helps us as the giver, the receiver, and inspires those around us.
You can do things like: help someone with a task, make a card or craft, show appreciation, or take the time to say something positive.
Challenge: Find something to do for someone else to show true kindness, big or small! -

Sleep Hygiene for students
This 4 minute video for students features Elk Ridge Elementary School Counselor Jonathan Andrus sharing about sleep hygiene.
Uploaded Jun 04, 2020
Sleep hygiene is taking care of ourselves at night. Sleep helps our mood, makes us more alert during the day, and helps us store information we learned during the day.
Getting exercise each day helps your body get ready for sleep.
If you take a nap during the day, it should be no more than 30 minutes.
Try to make your bedroom as cool and dark as possible.
If you can, make your workstation different from your sleep station.
Have a bedtime routine and try not to use any screens 30 minutes before bed.
Challenge: Try turning off screens 30 minutes before bed for amazing sleep! -

Sleep Hygiene for caregivers
This 4 minute video for caregivers features Elk Ridge Elementary School Counselor Jonathan Andrus sharing about sleep hygiene.
Uploaded Jun 04, 2020
The purpose of sleep hygiene is to help us get deep sleep. This will help your mood, increase your mental health, and keep you more alert during the day.
Getting outside and getting sunlight helps the body prepare for sleep. Daylight regulates your body's internal clock.
A bedtime routine is important for the whole family and save your bed just for sleep if you can.
If it takes longer than 20 minutes to fall asleep, get up and do something relaxing in another room. Resetting outside of the bedroom is better than staring at the time or worrying about falling asleep.
Challenge: If you are having a hard time going to sleep - quickly jot down the thoughts that are overwhelming you so that you think about them later, or do something from your night time routine to reset. -

Try different ways of doing things, there is not one right way.
If nothing else, READ!
Challenge: Think about the routine you have tried so far, what is working for your family and what is not? Revise the plan and be flexible! -
