The time off can be the perfect time to unwind and recharge but if you’re a parent, you know these moments are few and far between while your kids are off from school. We put together some tips to help you stay healthy and refreshed during a time that can require a little extra energy from you as a parent. Let’s explore some ways to manage the stress that can come along with spring break.
Stress Management Tips for Spring Break
First off, keeping a consistent routine will help everyone, regardless of age during this time off. Kids thrive on consistency and allowing them to wind down at their regular time will help you find pockets to relax as well.
Another thing to consider is to maximize your time spent outdoors.Encourage your kids to spend time outdoors, whether it's playing in the backyard, going for a walk, or visiting a local park. Outdoor play not only helps keep kids active but also exposes you and your kids to vitamin D from the sun, which is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. You can help support your kids immunity during this time away from school by incorporating Vimergy’s Kids Zinc and our Kids B12 Organic Liquid Vitamin into your routine.
The next thing to incorporate is to maintain healthy eating habits. It can be easy to indulge in unhealthy snacks and treats during spring break, but maintaining a healthy diet will help regulate your body and keep your stress at bay.
