5 Self-Development Resources for You and Your Child

July 13, 2021 by Annie

Every child and family experience is unique. Some kids grow up in large families and support groups, while others have smaller, tight-knit circles. While parents might have different ideas for what is best for their kids, they all want their children to grow up happy and healthy.

You can take steps to raise your kids well while creating space for yourself as a parent. Here are five resources for you and your kids to take advantage of.

1. Individual or Group Therapy

Almost anyone can benefit from meeting with a therapist. Whether you are opting for individual therapy or group therapy, you can gain insight into your mental state and take steps to improve it. A therapy group can help you overcome changes to your life that can cause stress — even good changes like having a baby or moving to a new city. If you are in New York, for example, check out places like Therapy Group of NYC. This is a safe place to meet with a therapist and share what’s on your mind.

2. Unique Pre-K Experiences

Every parent wants their child to start off on the right foot, but with so many kindergarten experiences out there, how can you choose the best ones? Give your child a unique early age classroom experience by sending them to an independent school for Pre-K.

For example, MUSE Academy sets kids up to be expressive artists and lifelong learners. By fostering social development in children, they can grow into active citizens as adults. Consider the best options for your family as your child prepares to attend school. The right educational experience will provide individual attention and care for every child.

3. Take part in therapeutic and educational activities

Kids are never too young to learn about visual arts and many art exhibits are made specifically for young eyes. Again, let’s say you live in New York; take advantage of the free activities and exhibits available throughout the summer. There are mural festivals, theatre performances in the park, and even activities like arts and crafts for kids. Many of these outdoor activities are free and the artists look for new ways to connect their performances with the local community. Activities like these are both educational for you and your child but also allow you both to spend some quality time together that can be therapeutic and fun for you both.

4. Local Community Centers

Local community centers provide multiple opportunities for families to bond and support each other. Adults can take workshops to learn how to save money or raise kids, while children can play sports and make friends.

Interacting with others is a great way for kids to build their social skills. They can learn how to talk to other kids and share ideas. Even shy kids can learn to come out of their shells and discover newfound assertiveness when playing their favorite games. Look into your local neighborhood centers to see if anything they offer interests you.

5. Book Clubs

Book clubs offer wonderful opportunities for self-development. Adults can choose book clubs as a way to socialize with friends or as a way to explore new ideas. As a parent, you can either look for a local book club near you or find online book clubs with virtual meet-ups.

Kids can also benefit from joining book clubs. They can improve their reading schools and grow more confident reading in front of others. This is a key part of early childhood education and can reduce discomfort when your child enters school.

Each of these resources will be useful in different parts of your life. While you might not need group therapy right now, there might come a time when it helps to find people to talk to. As your kids grow, they will have different needs. Keep these resources in mind as your family grows up in NYC.

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
