It’s hard to believe that another year is coming to an end. The KITS Team has been busy, as we know you have too! We’d like to share some highlights from our favorite blogposts of the closing year.
We started out the year with a focus on little things that EVERYONE can do to give a quick boost to their sense of wellbeing. Micro-acts of Joy for Wellbeing and our guide to Micro-acts of Joy for Kids are a great place to get started.
The spring brought thoughts of resilience and our posts about Cultivating Resilience at Home and in the Classroom and 8 Skills for Resilient Kids. With resilience comes Making a Habit of Talking With Kids About How They Feel. Finally, an article about a teacher’s creative way to help her students’ recreate their classroom “Safe Place” wherever they might be, inspired us to create our own KITS Feel Better Box.
It wouldn’t be summer at KITS without talk of books, reading, and promoting summer learning. Our posts Book Sharing to Promote Reading and Build Connection and Fun Ways to Keep Learning Alive all Summer Long both have fun ideas that can be used throughout the year to foster reading skills and the joy of learning.
As we moved back into the fall, we revisited resilience with Supporting Kids During Tough Times and Managing Stress: How Parents and Teachers Can Foster a Sense of Security During Stressful Times.
And, last but not least, be sure to check out our post about activities to do with your kids during winter break! We hope each of you have a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year!
