Corona, Kids & Screens

June 16, 2020 Megan Snider

So many parents I know feel like they’re drowning in screens right now, myself included. Maybe it feels like a never-ending battle, or perhaps you’ve completely relented in the face of this extraordinary time. I’m here to say that either way, no matter what’s going on, we will get through this.

How does a conscious parent navigate this sea of media and screen usage with small kids? My solution is to have an incredibly compassionate view, and still remember to pursue presence with your child.

At the onset of COVID-19, our kids (ages 5&3) went from having 30-60 minutes of screen-time a week to that per day. And now it’s more like…

Plow Pose (Halasana)

Kids love plow pose! This pose can be done solo, with a partner or even as a family! There are many benefits to plow pose, including improved digestion, relaxation of the nervous system, fatigue relief, and stretching of the shoulders and spine. This pose also calms anxiety and reduces irritability in our youngsters! And parents, all these benefits apply to you too. :)

So on your trip to the farm this fall to harvest apples or pumpkins, take a break and lay in the dirt as a plow!
