What are things you do with your kids to help with your mental health?

Question

What are some things you can do with your kids that help with your overall mental health? Mine is not doing very good right now.

Answer

Baby sparks app. Gym with daycare.  Baby gym swim classes walking mommy groups library.

Answer

I go to a bible study. I get to have a little time away, study the Bible, and they’re in their own classes studying the Bible too. My 2.5 yo and 6 mo old love it. I take them to Walmart with me and they enjoy people watching and shopping with me. My 2.5yo goes to Mother’s Day out twice a week. It’s only $15/day at my church. It’s some good time for me to clean/run errands/do things I need to do. If you’re hovering around depression, invest in a babysitter and head to counseling. It helps so much.

Answer

Going for walks
Swimming
Bathe together
Baking
Coloring
Listening to music
Even though I have things I love doing with my baby that help my mental health, I am also very much struggling right now. I’ve actually been so depressed that I’ve had to spend a lot of time in bed the last week. Finally decided to start a medication to help after SO much work on my own.

Answer

Yoga, meditation, art, journaling even if it makes no sense or is just doodling, go for walks/hikes. Make sure you are taking a little time for yourself every day even if its a few minutes to comb your hair or drink your coffee. There are a lot of breathing exercises you can learn from YouTube videos that you can do anywhere any time and help a lot.
