Tips and resources to help kids and parents

MAKE SPACE FOR CALM

It’s important to intentionally check-in as a family and talk about what to do when kids feel upset, angry, scared or frustrated – and how to keep emotions in check.

PRACTICE STAYING PRESENT

Daily mindfulness practice – the practice of paying attention to the present moment – can teach kids techniques to handle difficult emotions, such as stress, anxiety, anger and more. The Allstate Foundation works with Inner Explorer to bring audio guided mindfulness exercises to schools, focusing on key areas of development. Now, parents can download the Inner Explorer family app, and begin practicing with your children every day, starting with “Day 1” and continuing through “Day 90" and then repeat.

The Allstate Foundation’s nonprofit partner, Wings for Kids, encourage kids and parents to consider R&R: reset and relax. Reset to determine what is really bothering you and relax your mind and body to try and calm down..

BUILD SKILLS THROUGH STORIES

Literature and storytelling are great ways to introduce the concept of SEL skills to kids of all ages. Find a list of books, grouped by age level, that can start a conversation in your family.

MAKE IT FUN

The Allstate Foundation knows that play is an integral part of developing important SEL skills that will carry kids through adulthood. The Allstate Foundation nonprofit partner, Playworks, is hosting #PlayatHome Recess live on Facebook at 11am, 1pm and 3pm CT Monday through Friday. Tune in for stretching, warm ups, interactive games, cheers and cooldown activities. Playworks also offers a free game library, where families and educators can access ideas by age and length of time, with many fun ideas for small groups.

STAY CONNECTED

In times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to have open communication with our families and loved ones

WE Charity is making it easy for youth, families and educators to connect, engage and inspire with Live with WE Schools, a daily online program hosted by renowned speaker, Spencer West, who will be joined by teachers, experts and others for one hour of free educational and inspiring content.

FIND SUPPORT

The Allstate Foundation and its partners are here to support young people, parents and educators through this uncertain time. Make use of resources, like the SEL guide for parents of teens, available on WeAreTeachers.com that offers practical tips and exercises for incorporating SEL into your daily life.

GIVE SUPPORT

Now more than ever, it’s important to find ways to support those around us. The good news? There are many ways to continue to give back to our communities while also physical distancing. WE Charity and The Allstate Foundation are offering ideas to volunteer virtually and continue to make a difference.
