As parents, we have a big job training our children to be good stewards
of their bodies. One of the best ways to do that, is equipping them to
be responsible for their own wellness. How about making a mini wellness
toolkit, for them to keep in their backpack? This can be something they
keep tucked away in their lockers, at the bottom of their book bag or in
their desk/cubby at school. It needs to be somewhere easily accessible
to them, without breaking the rules of the school. A good idea is to
make sure the teacher knows ahead of time, that your kiddo has this and
what’s in it.
Wellness Toolkit for Kids:
1. Head Spray - 1/2 oz Witch Hazel, 1.5 oz Distilled Water, 10 drops Lavender, 10 drops Rosemary & 4 drops Tea Tree. Spray in hair, hats & backpacks whenever needed.
2. Hand cleaner - 5 tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel, 3-4 tablespoons Water, ¼ teaspoon Vitamin E oil & 8-10 drops Thieves. Rub on hands. (OR, just purchase the Thieves Hand Purifier)
3. Tummy roller - 3 drops Lemon, 3 drops Frankincense, 1 drop Peppermint & fill w/carrier oil of your choice. Roll on tummy area.
4. Focus roller - 10 drops Frankincense, 10 drops Copaiba, 10 drops Cedarwood, 10 drops Vetiver & fill the rest w/carrier oil of your choice. Roll on neck or wrists.
Include a few band-aids and lip balms and you’ve got a little kit that your kiddo can reach for anytime! You can store the supplies in a zip top bag, a pencil box or even a cute little bag from the Target dollar spot…get creative!
