Limit Setting and Following Through

How do our actions of limit setting and following through (or not) impact children's skill building for future competence? Limits can be set without being punitive. Reflection and having a plan can be helpful tools.

Get Outside in June!

Challenge yourself (and others!) to get outside in the month of June! Each day has a suggested activity, but you can also choose your own or move them around to better fit your schedule! Being outside provides opportunities to be physically active (among other benefits!) which can increase life expectancy, improve sleep quality, and reduce cancer risk!
