Strategies For Prioritizing Health & Wellness In A Positive Way 

There can be a fine line between encouraging healthy habits in our children and creating negative thoughts on body image and self-perception. We want the best for our children, but often forget that they are watching how we treat ourselves and model their own behaviors after that. 

Join us for this quick, practical class, where we will: 

● Discover ways to speak about our bodies that encourage body positivity for our children

● Discuss the reasons why we need to model healthy behaviors for our children 

● Develop a plan to include quick healthy practices into your daily life and encourage healthy habits in your children without adding pressure or negative connotations.

Does it feel impossible to take care of your family and yourself too? 

Do you feel guilty about making your own health a priority? 

Do you believe that healthy changes are just too challenging? 

You are not alone. 

Here is the good news: Research tells us that mothers spending time on themselves – on relaxation and self-care – and not so much on housework, is associated with positive outcomes for children. Because you can’t pour from an empty cup, you will learn practical strategies to prioritize health and wellness in your own life so that you can offer your best to your children and teach by being a positive role model. You will gain quick tips on: 

● Practical fitness routines that work

The transition back to work from Family Leave can be challenging. Birthing mothers strive to balance involvement in the world of work with the biological and emotional changes that accompany a recent birth. Parent involvement with baby’s total care can be immensely rewarding as well as exhausting, and relinquishing some of that care to others is often anxiety-provoking. Parents gain easy access to expert information and guidance from the Welcome Baby – Welcome Back to Work library while on Family Leave and as they return to work. From eating, sleeping and just surviving to answering questions like, “Will work harm my relationship with my baby?” busy parents appreciate quick evidence-based solutions to everyday challenges as well as major concerns.

We parents of young children have too much to do and not enough time to do it. So certain things fall off the to-do list, and fitness is usually one of the first to go. At the same time, we know deep down that we are more patient and positive when we take better care of ourselves. 

After this class, parents will be able to 

• Find practical strategies for self care
• Discover easy ways to fit self care into a busy schedule
• Create a simple plan to increase self care moving forward
