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! -

Control and Acceptance
This 4 minute video for students features Glacier Middle School Teacher Bailey Plumb sharing about control and acceptance.
Uploaded May 12, 2020
With so many unknowns, it is hard to feel like you don’t have control in our life.
When you are stressed, stop and think, “Do I have control over this?”
If we don’t have control, it is better for our mental well being to try to accept and try not worry about it.
Acceptance means accepting things for what they are, even when we don’t like it.
Shift from “Why me?” to “It is what it is.”
Challenge: Try to shift your focus this week on what you can control - how you spend your time, the effort you put into things, what media you look at, and asking for help. -

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.

Why Belly Breathe
This 3 minute video for students features Wilkeson Elementary School Counselor Carla Burgi sharing about how belly breathing really works!
Uploaded May 21, 2020
In our Second Step program, we teach students when they are upset to stop, name what they are feeling, and do a calm down strategy.
Belly breathing is a type of calming strategy where you take a slow deep breath in through the nose and exhale out the mouth. It is called a belly breath because you should see your stomach expand.
Deep breathing activates something in our body called the vagus nerve; this is the biggest nerve in our body and is super powerful!
Breathing during the day and when we are upset helps our mental and physical health! Research shows it improves our sleep, reduces headaches, helps our memory and thinking, and reduces anxiety.
Challenge: Try doing some belly breathing every day this week, even if you aren’t feeling upset. It is a great practice to do daily. -
