🏆 Ask more than, “Did you win?”

Try:

“What was your favorite part?”
“What was challenging?”
“What are you proud of?”

Giving kids space to talk about both the good and hard parts of sports can help them build confidence and healthy coping skills.

⏰ Does your morning ever feel like a race against the clock?

You’re not alone!

Try doing just one thing the night before:

🎒 Pack the backpack.
👟 Set out shoes.
🥪 Prep tomorrow’s snack.
👕 Pick out clothes.

You don’t have to completely reorganize your life. One small step can make tomorrow morning a little easier.

🌧️ Have you noticed leaves starting to collect around storm drains?

A few minutes of cleanup can help keep water moving and prevent puddles from building up.

If you see leaves piling up near a drain, take a minute to clear them away when it’s safe to do so.

Small neighborhood actions add up!

🧠 Need a reset? Take a brain break!

You don’t need an hour—or even 20 minutes.

Try:

Stretching
Taking a few slow breaths
Walking outside
Getting a drink of water
Dancing to one song

Sometimes a couple of minutes is enough to come back feeling refreshed.

💛 A little encouragement can go a long way.

Try leaving a note in a lunchbox.

Give your child a high-five before school.

Tell them, “I’m proud of you.”

Ask how their day went—and really listen to the answer.

Small moments of connection help kids feel supported and cared for.

🏃 Rest is part of being active!

Kids and teens need time to recover, too.

Sleep, rest days, and easy movement give the body and mind a chance to recharge.

Whether your child plays one sport or three, remember that taking a break is not “doing nothing.”

It’s part of getting stronger.

Health Dunn Right joins the Kids Mental Health Foundation in honoring Dolly Parton, whose generosity and kindness continue to inspire brighter futures for children. As Dolly reminds us, “We can’t just hope for a brighter day, we have to work for a brighter day.” Her legacy encourages us to turn hope into action as we support the wellbeing of families and youth in Dunn County. 💚

Through acts of generosity and kindness big and small, Dolly Parton was an incredible model for how adults can support children. We are honored to follow her lead and do our part to create brighter days.

🍂 Fall can bring more than pretty leaves.

Ragweed, dust, damp leaves, and other seasonal changes can bother some people.

Keeping indoor spaces clean, letting fresh air in when appropriate, and staying on top of outdoor cleanup can help create a healthier space for your family.
