Here they are:

  1. Be more flexible; Create a climate of flexibility .Ex:  create situations like a practice “fire drill”- Stop, drop, and change what you’re doing helps teach kids to be resilient when it comes to change. .
  2. Do not overwhelm yourselves or your kids; Keep your days simple. Accomplish one thing a day. Create a must do and may do list.
  3. Teach Gratitude at every age: Start a gratitude game!- create a concrete bliss list- use the words I see, I hear, I feel when making the list with kids. Ex: I see the beautiful blue sky today and it makes me smile.
  4. Rely on Social Media to gather information. Active versus Passive Screen Time!
