Mental Health Workshop
Social Emotional Strength: Courage
As parents we can have a great opportunity by reading books such as “The Magic Pencil” by the Pakistani Malala Yousafzai. Malala Yousafzai had the character and courage to face not only her elders, but a whole tradition and culture fully rooted in her own people, to defend her right and that of all girls to an education. Whether it is a child or an adult around us, we need to support each other to break down barriers. Use your words and share your courage with others. You may not know what they are going through but your words and your actions will help them through it. Taking small steps, accomplishing small goals that will lead us to our dreams. The dreams of our families, our community and our district.
Liven Up Your Meals with Vegetables!
Add more color to your plate by cooking fresh or frozen veggies in the microwave for a quick-and-easy dish to add to any meal. Steam green beans, carrots, or broccoli in a bowl with a small amount of water in the microwave for a quick side dish. Add frozen corn, peas, and spinach to vegetable soup for something delicious and hot during cold winter days. Kids
love to dip their foods – whip up a quick dip for veggies with yogurt and herb seasonings. Serve with raw vegetables like broccoli, carrots or celery. Don’t forget to brighten your plate with vegetables that are rich in color - red, orange or dark green. They are full of vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy!
