Key wellness / self-care / productivity strategies in the video

Support healthy growth habits (for kids)

• Eat all kinds of food
• Move your body every day
• Sleep well each and every night
• Don’t rush—growth happens in its own time (“You’ll grow up just fine.”)

Build courage during fear

• Use “courage candy” as a reminder tool (the message is that courage comes from within, not from the candy itself)
• Take little steps and keep going rather than trying to do everything at once
• Use your voice / “speak up” to overcome shyness

Practice social/emotional self-regulation

• Take turns and remember: first or last doesn’t matter—everybody gets a turn
• Avoid rushing on shared play equipment; if others walk away, that’s a sign to slow down
• Repair mistakes with reassurance: it’s okay, and you can do it better from now on

Feel-and-respond emotional check-ins (emotion regulation through action)

• Match actions to feelings, for example:
  • clap for happy
  • stomp / take a slow breath for angry
  • cry and get comfort for sad
  • nap for sleepy
  • shout / jump for excited
• For anger: take a real slow breath, blow it out, and “let the anchor go” (calming technique)
