Back-to-School Wellness: Week 6 – Help Kids Stay Calm
Helping your kids stay calm in school is as important as all the wellness prep work to get them there. After your kids are rested from a good night’s sleep, have the best nutrition in their bellies, and are armed with their wellness roll-on, it’s time to support their emotions during and after school.
School can be a rough time for everyone. It is filled with excitement and anxiety. The best way to combat stress quickly is to use essential oils. Remember that when you inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules go deep into the brain, straight to the places that help you manage your emotions.
Lava Rock Bracelet to Help Your Kids Stay Calm
One favorite mom trick is to apply your child’s favorite calming oil to a diffuser bracelet. The lava rocks absorb the oil so your kids can smell it throughout the day. Apply 1-2 drops just before school.
