Our lives moving forward will not look the same; it’s up to us to accurately narrate this moment in world history. There will be a time when we will want to recount our resilience and innovation during quarantine. So let’s not forget to capture the uniqueness of this uncertain time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Wednesday Wellness, May 20 - #GOALS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes we lose sight of our goals when something unexpected comes our way but we are here to remind you that there is no greater feeling than reaching a goal. That’s why this wellness post is about goals. The current COVID-19 pandemic may have caused you to shift your priorities for a while, but as things slowly return back to normal, now might be a good time to pick up where you left off. Even it if means adjusting your goals, taking a little action will go a long way toward getting you closer to what you want to achieve. If it helps, write your goals down individually and place them in a jar and don’t forget to periodically revisit them to track your progress.</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Tuesday Tip, May 19 - Cleaning Your Face Mask</image:title>
      <image:caption>As quarantine continues, face masks have become part of our daily attire. While you adjust to this new normal, don’t skip the routine maintenance! Business Insider recommends these cleaning and sanitizing tips (for fabric masks only - not disposable masks) to ensure you properly protect yourself and your loved ones. 1. Rotate use of a few masks and clean them after each use. 2. Use heavy-duty detergent because it is more effective at cleaning soiled fabrics. 3. Store cleaned masks in a covered container instead of out in the open.</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Monday Fun Day, May 18 - Rainbow Art</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rainy spring weather is a wonderful time to talk about rainbows and colors. There are so many ways to explore (and experiment) with color without leaving the house. We really hope the following ideas inspire you to play around with colors! 1. PAPER RAINBOW Create a rainbow that has some personality with construction paper, googly eyes and glue, as seen in this, “10 Easy Craft Ideas for Kids…”, CountryLiving article. 2. FOOD-COLORING FLOWERS You’ll need a few white flowers and food coloring (carnations, roses, daisies, etc…) to complete this activity. Add several drops of food coloring to a clear glass of water. Simply cut the stems of the flowers at an angle and place them in the colored water. After one or two days, your flowers should transform into a beautiful piece of colorful art. Once the transformation is complete, challenge your Kid-O to research and explain the science behind what happened. 3. COLOR DASH Place colorful paper in different areas of the same room to create “color zones”. For example, one corner can be dedicated the blue corner and another can be dedicated to green. Allow your Kid-Os 2 minutes to find objects that match their designated color zone. *Pro Tip: To spiral in some literacy skills, have your Kid-O pick a few things from their pile and spell them out or use the object in a sentence.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you need another indoor activity to keep you busy during COVID-19, you should definitely try out the HouseParty app. The app allows up to eight users to join a “house” at the same time to video chat. There are also in-app games to include, Heads Up, Pictionary and Trivia. It really is loads of fun! So tonight, block off some time with family + friends and party away!</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Wednesday Wellness, May 13 - Self-Care Routine</image:title>
      <image:caption>If there was ever a time to remember to keep up with our self-care routines the current quarantine would be it. If you don’t currently have one then maybe now is an opportunity to seriously invest in building out time for yourself. Sometimes you have to ration your time and move strategically to enjoy a little personal time - and that’s okay too! The goal is to pour back into yourself as a means to feel refueled and revitalized. A consistent self-care routine is a way of practicing the habit of choosing yourself and prioritizing your needs - with intention. We invite you to do the quick activity below to assess how you are taking care of you. DO NOW: Review your current to-do list. REFLECTION: How are you prioritizing yourself based on your to-do list?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a result of several weeks of quarantine, you may be feeling a little tired. It’s understandable that, with our lives stuck on repeat, maintaining high energy levels seems like an unnecessary burden during this time. However, there are foods that can provide you with energy to keep you productive throughout COVID-19, so that you can stay on track to finish your personal goals and continue meeting your New Year’s resolutions -remember those? Check out our Kid-O-Friendly list, adapted from Heathline.com. 1. AVOCADO SMASH ON WHOLE WHEAT TOAST This is a powerful combination of complex carbohydrates (whole wheat bread) and Vitamin A and C (avocado). 2. EGG + SPINACH OMELETTE This is a double hit of protein, sprinkled with Vitamin’s A, C and Potassium and Calcium (spinach) 3. PLAIN YOGURT + WATERMELON CHUNKS WITH HONEY DRIZZLE This light breakfast option is a good source of Calcium, Vitamins A, C, B1, B5 and B6. It’s also extremely hydrating. The honey will add sweetness and is good for general heart health. 4. BANANAS WITH HONEY DRIZZLE This is another great source of Vitamin A and Potassium. It’s a quick breakfast that has the added benefit of easy clean-up. 5.

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Wednesday Wellness, April 29 - Family Affirmations</image:title>
      <image:caption>There might be hundreds of repetitive thoughts swirling through your Kid-O’s head each day but it doesn’t hurt to make sure some of those repetitive thoughts are comforting and secure thoughts about family and love. Affirmations can be a key player in helping your family to strengthen bonds and have respectful interactions between one another. We have provided a few ideas for some quality Family Affirmations but we hope that you are encouraged to tailor these to fit your family’s unique needs. FAMILY AFFIRMATIONS Our family provides secure and safe love to one another. Our family encourages one other to stretch ourselves in the pursuit of happiness and success. Our family will contribute in creating a pathway for shared successes. Our family strives to peacefully work together to overcome challenges.</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Tuesday Tip, April 28 - Just Breathe</image:title>
      <image:caption>Breathing is essential to everything that we do. Sometimes, when we are overwhelmed, mentally and physically, all it takes is a deep inhale and exhale to bring us back into clear focus. That’s why the tip for this week is to remember to breathe. When you are upset, breathe like you are the wind that has been tasked with creating ripples in still water. When you are anxious and worried about what comes next, stop and breathe - in through nose, out through your mouth. Even when you are having a joyful moment that you want to hold on to forever, breathe and inhale all that goodness. Breathing makes a difference. Don’t minimize it’s importance in helping you to have clarity and focus this week.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Touch your inner space, which is nothingness, as silent and empty as the sky; it is your inner sky. Once you settle down in your inner sky, you have come home, and a great maturity arises in your actions, in your behavior. Then whatever you do has grace in it. Then whatever you do is a poetry in itself. You live poetry; your walking becomes dancing, your silence becomes music.” – Osho If nothing else reminds you to explore and acknowledge the depths of you, let Earth Week serve as a reminder that your existence is uniquely and wonderfully appreciated.</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Wednesday Wellness, April 15 - Mind Your Music</image:title>
      <image:caption>For many of us, music is persuasive. It appeals to our emotions and can be used as great stimuli for learning. There are great expert crafted playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, and even YouTube titled, “Study Beats”, “Chill Music”, “Focus Music”, etc.. that bring internal/external calmness. They are great soundtracks to a productive day and can also be a tool to integrate into your Kid-O’s daily routine. A great playlist can remind your Kid-O of the expectations during a certain part of their day. (i.e. reading time = calm instrumentals)</image:caption>

      <image:title>KidOvation Stage Blog - Tuesday Tip, April 14 - Brain Breaks</image:title>
      <image:caption>Don’t forget to give your Kid-O frequent brain breaks this week! Yes, we naturally take breaks for lunch and playtime but it can be a good idea to pause during learning/teaching time too! Even as an adult, you require breaks from time-to-time. You can allow your Kid-O the same flexibility without sacrificing the learning opportunities. A few non-digital ideas for brain breaks include: Yoga (with Cosmic Kids Yoga), Dancing (with GoNoodle), coloring, playing with PlayDough, playing with blocks, or completing a small puzzle</image:caption>

      <image:caption>With so much conversation developing around COVID-19, it doesn’t hurt to keep your little one informed to help them adapt during these uncertain times. First, discuss what germs are and how they spread (access Youtube video: here) and then help them understand that they are okay, but we all have to be extra careful about not spreading germs to other people. To make it more educational, try reviewing the steps to properly wash their hands, and read this kid-friendly comic created by NPR.</image:caption>
