Back to School with Sesame Street in Communities: Tip 3
By HRI Program Coordinator, Camila Dos Santos, M.Ed.
Tip 3: Teach children the basics of self-care, such as eating healthy and staying active, using Sesame Street in Communities resources.
The sooner that children understand the importance of the basics, such as a healthy diet, staying active, and drinking water, the more likely they are to maintain these basics during times of stress.
Sesame Street in Communities (https://sesamestreetincommunities.org) has a number of resources to make teaching the basics of self-care fun for everyone.
