Team sports are unique in that they can provide both physical and mental benefits. At the individual level, exercise helps maintain many physical aspects of health, such as strong bones, flexibility and good circulation. In addition, exercise assists in the production of endorphins that ultimately improve mood. Research shows that beyond individual physical fitness and its physiological effects, team sports oftentimes lead to enhanced academics and decreased behavioral issues. Concepts like cooperation and leadership are fundamental aspects of these team games. |

Stocking up on water and non-perishable items during more unpredictable weather seasons is critical. Experts recommend having at least a three-day supply of food and water. This emergency supply should include three meals and one-half gallon of water per person per day. Stocking up on canned and dry goods is ideal. Some product recommendations include canned fruits and vegetables, single servings of applesauce and fruit juices, dried fruit, dried beans, individual milk boxes, canned tuna, nut butters, nut packs, jerky, cereals, crackers and granola bars. For food items that are canned, be sure to include a can opener with your supplies. In addition, plan accordingly for those on medications who may be near a low supply. Having a emergency plan can make all the difference for your family’s well-being. |

While some schools have re-opened, many are offering and providing virtual, learn-from-home options to families. Learning from home can be successful with some organization. Establishing household schedules for everyone is crucial. Schedules help set expectations which can decrease anxiety. Once schedules are established, individual workspaces can be created and managed. Separate spaces empower kids by giving them a sense of ownership. Allow some input from your kids by offering a few fun and unique office supplies for them to choose from. Weather permitting, suggest lunches be outdoors to encourage space change that will get kids out of chairs and away from screens. Allowing special breaks or treats within the daily schedule can go a long way in making a new experience positive by allowing it to be different yet functional. |

A few food tips to keep in mind:
- Meals should also have minimal distractions. They should be at their own scheduled times and away from screens.
- Just like at work, having food near devices isn't particularly sanitary. Be sure to wipe down workspaces if anyone has to have a snack while participating online.
- Engaging children in food prep is also a learning tool and experience! Things such as fine motor skills and even math can be a part of meal preparation.
